A mortising machine for your shop—without the big investment. Want the strength and versatility of loose tenons but not the price tag of a dedicated machine? The Woodpeckers Mortising Jig turns your plunge router into a precision mortiser. In just seconds, you'll cut mortises from 1/8" to 1/2" thick and up to 3-1/2" wide—perfectly sized, perfectly aligned, every time.
Fast setup: Just set the fence and stops to your layout, drop your router on the template, and cut.
Flexible sizing: Use off-cuts to mill your own tenon stock—or pair the jig with our metric router bits to match Festool Domino sizes.
Smart clamping: The vertical table has track clamp slots in both directions, making it easy to secure your workpiece, fences, and stops.
Expandable design: Comes with a universal fence, and an optional Hardware Pack lets you build custom stops for complex layouts like chair components.
The horizontal table is made of solid phenolic with a low-friction surface for smooth router travel. A heavy-duty steel frame keeps both tables precisely square. You'll need just one included template guide bushing to cut any mortise up to 1/2" wide. Laser-engraved inch and metric scales make setup fast and foolproof. Mounting the Mortising Jig is just as versatile: Notches align with 20mm holes on 96mm centers—perfect for MFT-style and Woodpeckers Track Clamp Tables.
Use "F" clamps on the flanges for a standard bench.
Or screw it down permanently if you prefer a fixed station.
Pair the Mortising Jig with Woodpeckers solid carbide spiral bits—fractional and metric—for the cleanest mortises. Use ready-made tenons off the shelf, or mill larger custom tenons and profile them with Ultra-Shear Half-Round Bits. Like all our tools, the Mortising Jig is machined and inspected in Strongsville, Ohio.
