Router Jigs
Router Jigs for Hinges, Dados, Holes, and Radius Corners
Router jigs guide the router through a repeatable cut so parts match without layout. This collection is led by Woodpeckers: Exact Width Dado Jigs in 24-1/2-inch and 32-1/2-inch, Chamfer and Radius Quick Jigs in several radius pairs, a corner jig radius set, and Hole Boring Jigs for MFT-style tops. Kreg offers a door hinge routing jig with a flush trim bit. Porter Cable dovetail jigs, the Shaper Origin PLATE template jig, and Freud 8-piece bit sets for Incra jigs are also here.
What to Look For
- Task first. Dado jigs size grooves to the actual shelf thickness. Radius jigs round corners. Hinge jigs cut mortises.
- Bit requirement. Most jigs need a bearing-guided or straight bit and sometimes a template guide.
- Size range. Radius Quick Jigs come in pairs, so buy the pairs that match your common radii.

Router Jigs FAQ
How does an exact width dado jig work?
You set the jig to the actual board that will sit in the dado, then rout with a bearing-guided bit. The groove matches that board instead of a nominal size.
What router do I need for a hinge routing jig?
A compact or trim router with a straight or flush trim bit handles door hinge mortises. The Kreg jig lists a 1/2-inch flush trim bit with a 1/4-inch shank as its replacement bit.
