Trend Kitchen Worktop Jigs - 700mm

The main advantage is the significant reduction in time required to cut complex worktop joints, enabling both parts of a joint to be cut in approximately 15 minutes, including setup.

It can cut left and right-hand corners, a 400mm radius peninsular joint, 45° end cuts with slight radius, and 45° trade corners.

The jig is 12mm thick.

No, the jig itself does not include a router bit or guide bush. These are separate requirements for use with a router.

The jig is specifically designed for laminate worktops. Performance and accuracy on other materials like solid wood or composite may vary.

The 6 x 10mm ABS plastic pins have tapered shoulders and provide a 3-point contact system to ensure the jig is accurately positioned and held securely for routing.

Ensure the jig is correctly aligned, securely clamped, and that the router follows the jig's template precisely. Using sharp router bits and making cuts in multiple passes can also improve the final joint fit.

Ensure the jig is firmly secured with clamps and that the ABS pins are fully seated. Verify the router base is running flush against the jig's edges and that the correct size guide bush and router bit are being used.

Check the sharpness of your router bit. Ensure the router speed is appropriate for the material and bit type. Reduce the depth of cut per pass if necessary.

Ensure the worktop surface is clean and free of debris. The jig is designed for 12mm thickness; ensure your worktop is of a compatible thickness or that any variation is minimal.
