Absolutely fantastic where's it been all my life lol it's makes woodworking so much easier would highly recommend it
Happy with this, saves me making jigs to do the same. Would be great if it was longer so I dont need to add unused shelf pin holes to my cabinets.
I’ve been using these for years and needed a second one for double stacking. For me they are the perfect feather board, flexible, adaptable and secure. Great service from the supplier, thank you so much.
I have only used the plane a couple of times and I am relatively new to woodworking. However, this not stop me from recognising the quality of this item. I do have some experience in the toolmaking industry so I can appreciate the machining tolerances etc. I have no regrets relating to my purchase and I look forward to using the plane for many years.
BEFORE buying, ensure that your router table can accommodate the jig — the base is 39 cm long (deep), in its shortest position it’s 30 cm long (deep).
Impeccable quality from JessEm as always. Everything fits tightly, no dents or burrs on the item. I use it with JessEm Mast-R-Lift Excel™ II. If you need a straightforward box joint jig that does one thing but does it excellently — that’s the one. I’ve used a couple of others before, but they had some play or felt fiddly. This one gives precise and, most importantly, reproducible results. As with all quality products from a reputable brand, this one falls into the “buy once, cry once” category but is well worth it. Worth noting is that it’s a metric jig and requires three different router bits: 6 mm, 8 mm, and 10 mm. JessEm sells Whiteside imperial bits for this jig. I bought these metric equivalents: RU2006, RU4858, and RU4910 Up Cut 2 Flute Spirals cutters. Now Wood Workers Workshop sells the Whiteside Up-Cut Spiral Router Bit Set (SKU: JESUCSSET), which is exactly what you need.
Words of advice:
- Familiarise yourself with the exploded view from the last pages of the manual BEFORE assembling
- Install the guard as your LAST step
- DO NOT touch Bearing Blocks — try it out without adjusting them, and only after that decide whether you want to change the tension
- Obvious one, but still: ensure that the key base, fence face, and router cutter are all the same size
- Another obvious one: ensure that the base is secured in the mitre slot so you don’t accidentally move the base sideways.
Thanks Alex for such a detailed review and the images, this is much appreciated. Kind regards Peter and the team
Bought this as spare in case the plastic washer get worn out over time. Nice to have just in case.
I bought this as spare. Just needed the rubber washer since the original one cracked. Maybe the rubber washer shoukd be availibel as spare but if not this is a good kit
My standard Dewalt push stick works but this push stick gives me more control and safety for my hand
Very good for small objects. Earlier I used a small paint brush but this is much better
Really like this style of T-Square i have some issues with it namely that it was 2mm of of square when it arrived thankfully it is adjustable so ive re calibrated it now to 0.04mm over the full 600mm length, the other issue is that the numbered engraving for the mm notches is on the 16th of an in notches and vise versa, this makes it a bit confusing to use, only time will tell if i can get used to that.
Light, accurate, pocket sized but you get through as lot of 0.5mm lead out of a propelling pencil
These marking knives are beautifully made and feel great to work with. Suits both left and right handed people. It's almost a shame to use them.
I bought them on pre order and they were definitely worth the wait.
Very good quality as is everything from woodpeckers but I don’t expect anything else at the price.
Bar looks ok and precise to dimensions stated.
Not had chance to incorperate them into my fixtures yet, but cannot see why they would not work as required.
This is a high quality item and if money were no object it would be 5 stars.
It's just that it is very expensive for a plastic handle, which is a reflection of Matchfit pricing rather than WW. I'm sure more able woodworkers would be able to fashion a wooden handle and use Matchfit hardware to attach it via a dovetail channel. For me the convenience was worth the outlay.
Brilliant quality. Solidly built and versatile.
Part of the excellent Matchfit dovetail system.
A bit expensive for one clamp -hence 4 stars not 5
Excellent quality and accurately square.
Highly recommended.
Great little tool. Perfect for small projects. Easy to store in a small workspace.
