Vertical Panel-Rising Jig

RATE THIS:

 

 

 

I always get great results when I use this tall fence for making raised-panel doors. It has a built-in dust collection port and a pressure bar that holds the panel firmly against the fence. 

 

I keep the bar’s front edge waxed, so panels slide smoothly. Slotted holes in the cleats make it easy to adjust the bar for panels of different thicknesses. With the bar removed, the fence works fine for regular edge-routing tasks. 

 

The fence-support brackets double as a dust collection chamber. I cut a hole in a piece of plywood to hold the hose and glued the plywood to the brackets. 

 

Made from small MDF pieces, this jig cost next to nothing and took only an hour to make.
