Shop-Built Router Jointer

We'll show you how to build a unique benchtop accessory that converts a common router and a flush trim bit to a powerful jointer tool.

No room for a jointer? You can convert your hand-held router into a precision tool that creates perfect edges for smooth joinery on stock up to 1-1/2" thick. The plan design includes the same features you'd find on a full-size jointer — adjustable tables, built-in guard, and dust collection port — all at a fraction of the size (and cost) of a commercial model.
