This is a \u003cstrong\u003erouter template jig\u003c\/strong\u003e designed for \u003cstrong\u003erouting mortises, recesses, and grooves\u003c\/strong\u003e in the face of a workpiece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eInstead of building a new MDF template every time you need a different opening, you set the rails to the size you want, lock them, and route the opening with your router and guide bushing. The jig can make templates from a couple inches up to \u003cstrong\u003e18 in x 18 in\u003c\/strong\u003e, which covers a lot of real shop work like hardware mortises, inset pulls, access panels, and inlay pockets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThe big win is repeatability. Once the jig is set, you can cut the same size recess across multiple parts without layout roulette. That is exactly what you want for cabinet parts, small batch production, or any project where parts need to match without hand fitting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eIt is also built to get out of your way when you are done. When the project changes, you can break it down and store it in a small space, then rebuild it into the next template you need. That means less clutter and fewer mystery templates gathering dust.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eGuide bushings matter here. The guide bushing diameter determines the offset from the edge of the template, so you can control your final cut size by choosing the right guide bushing and bit combo for the job.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eIf you do woodworking that regularly needs clean, square cutouts, mortises, recesses, cutting board juice grooves, or decorative accents, this jig saves time and makes your results more consistent.
