Router Edge
Basics Introduction To Woodworking Router Joinery
The router's ability to plunge into wood and cut precise, clean, straightedged grooves makes it an
excellent tool for the demanding task of joinery. Equipped with a battery of specially designed bits, jigs, and other accessories, the router can cut dozens of joints, ranging from the utilitarian rabbet to the most elaborate of dovetails. A dozen of these joints is presented on Woodworking Plans site. The article provides step-by-step instructions for fashioning the cuts.
The mortise-and-tenon is the most popular method of assembling the frame in frame-and- panel construction. Many commercial jigs are available to help you cut this joint with a router. Some are essentially positioning jigs for centering the Router Bit on the edge of a workpiece. Other models are used to cut the joints for the rails and stiles of a frame. Shop-built jigs for routing mortises and tenons can also be made inexpensively. Another common frame-and-panel joint--the cope-and-stick--offers strength and a decorative flourish.
Dovetail joints are best cut with the help of a variety of commercial jigs. Whether you cut the half-blind variety, a common drawer joint, or the traditional through dovetail, these jigs will help you produce the joint with unerring precision.
Joints can be either functional or decorative--or both. The sliding dovetail and Glue Joint, for example, are strong joints that remain invisible once they are assembled. The dovetail spline, on the other hand, is primarily a visual detail. The butterfly key joint fulfills both roles, reinforcing edge-to-edge butt joints while embellishing the surface with its double-wing motif.
Some joints, perhaps because they require long or repetitive cuts, are best produced on the Router Table. The box joint and,tongue-and-groove are good examples.Visit Woodworking Plans TV for more woodworking skills......
