NEW! - This is a “must have” for all AKEDA jig owners!

Our Price 139.88

This exclusive offering from the Jig Store has corner dovetails that highlight the use of two contrasting select hardwoods, with a hand-rubbed beeswax/citrus oil finish. It is an original design from Michael Heffernan of MDH Woodworking.

The storage case holds the complete 64-piece accessory kit, with a place for everything. The case has slots for extra bits and guide bushings, as well as two additional compartments for future guide fingers and miscellaneous new items.

The storage case lid is separate from its base. It can be used as a temporary storage bin for the guide fingers that you are using to make your joint, or it can be turned upside down and stored underneath the open case. However you choose to use the case, all the AKEDA jig components will be organized and at your fingertips as you work.

If you appreciate good design and excellent craftsmanship, this storage case is a must. You will never rummage through a drawer or plastic bin, in search of the right pin guide, bushing, or bit. This beautiful case gives you all the organization you need to make your own dovetails and box joints with the AKEDA jig.

Dimensions: 19” x 8.5” x 4.5”
Accessories not included.

STRONGLY RECOMMENDED!

Our Price $29.88

We strongly recommend using a router sub base with any dovetail jig.

Many routers, sad to say, are not quite precise enough to use on dovetail jigs. There are two problems:

1. The base may not always be stiff enough. The result is a mysterious gap at the end of your joint where the plastic router base “caves in” as it begins to lose the support of the guide rails near the end of the jig, and allows the bit to cut too deep. Try pressing on your router base with your thumbs and you’ll see what we mean.

2. Another problem is that the axis of the router collet may not be in line with the axis of the base, in other words, eccentric. The result of a router bit that’s eccentric to the guide bushing can be a misaligned joint.

A good quality router sub base will fix both problems. It also provides better visibility.

We’ve included a centering cone with our router sub base that allows you to accurately center the sub base (and therefore your guide bushing) when you install the sub base.

Our router sub base also has one other unique feature. You may have noticed AKEDA guide bushings have a small notch on the rim. This notch fits a pin on our sub base to prevent the guide bushing from rotating when you tighten it. The guide bushing is not included with the sub base.

Our sub base is 6-1/2” dia. (165mm) by 3/8” (9mm) thick clear acrylic and the recess for the guide bushing is precision machined, so it installs accurately every time. It includes all the necessary mounting hardware. Follow the installation instructions carefully.
