Keep those routes clean and tidy or else!

What happens here

The project begins with the presenter holding up a pre-fabricated wooden jig. This jig is a simple rectangular frame, constructed from wood, with an inner opening slightly larger than the metal deck rail insert. The presenter explains that this jig is necessary to accurately rout out the backside of a countertop where metal deck rail components will be installed. He then demonstrates the metal deck rail insert, a flat, black, rectangular piece of metal with screw holes, which needs to be flush-mounted into the routed recess.

Goal: Understand the purpose of the jig and the components being installed

Tools and materials

  • Metal Deck Rail Insert — The component to be flush-mounted into the routed recess
  • Wooden Jig Homemade — Guiding the router to create precise recesses

What they say

Hide

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
