Description
Like all the ELEVATE jigs I use, the Variable M&T Routing Jig is superbly made and allows me to kick off the neck join process with accurate alignment and neck angle each time.

Variable M&T Routing Jig
$12.06 – $231.46
The ELEVATE Variable M&T Routing Jig makes it simple to route the body connection joint regardless of the neck set angle. With a sliding routing template that forms both the mortise and tenon as well as multiple side screw positions for the angle plate, this jig gives the user a wide range of joint length options.
Easily center the jig on the neck or body with the truss rod centering pin or the centerline indication edge. The top routing plate of the jig pivots to conform to the angle of the body and neck and is locked in place with 2 screws on the side of the jig. Clamp everything in place, and route. It’s that simple.
Don’t want to change the position of the angle plate between routing positions? Add an additional angle plate for the ultimate set-up.
So which size do you need? That all comes down to heel shape. When using a traditional tapered heel shape, most builders use a 3/4″ jig. If you happen to be using a modern full width style heel, the 7/8″ is recommended.
The resulting mortise and tenon joint is compatible with the ELEVATE Variable M&T Drilling Jig (in width).
Be sure to use a fresh, sharp, high quality template bit for best results.
Pairs well with the ELEVATE Neck Angle Jig.
