Woodsmith Shop-Made Pin Router Plan
A pin router is a great way to “carve” out decorative reliefs, custom-fitted recesses and signs. And when you get right down to it, a pin router is a very basic machine. There’s a router bit that lines up with a small pin in the base. The pin helps guide a template that’s attached to the bottom of the workpiece. The problem is most pin routers are large pieces of equipment typically found in a production shop. I was looking for a scaled-down version I could use in my own shop, and I came up with this handy jig.
We offer the Woodsmith Shop-Made Pin Router plan as a downloadable PDF or a printed format that we ship to you.
With a hand-held router and this jig, you can rout a wide variety of decorative designs in your projects. A metal pin and a shop-made template guide the workpiece while you rout the design.
Step-by-step instructions, exploded views, materials list, and more—these plans have everything you need to build your own Shop-Made Pin Router.
