What is this, you're wondering? It's a jig, cuz I need to route out the backside of this countertop we're building out of decorators. For this right here, I need to route out the thickness of this. Looks like my jig's too big, right? It's not. Cuz I've got an inch and 3/4 from the edge of my plate to the edge of the bit. So, when I go around like this, I can just trace this. It's going to be exactly what I need. Cuz I got to do five of them. I don't want to freehand it. I want it to look really nice. Took me 2 minutes to make this. It's going to make my life a whole lot easier. It's going to make the finished product that much cleaner.
