I love this jig! My wife wanted a "distinctive look" on the cabinets and bookshelves flanking our living room fireplace. The jig was very easy to setup and was very easy to get repeat results. The fluting will be the most eye catching part of this project. Thanks Rockler for making this weekend woodworker look like a pro!

A lot of jigs seem to be just gimmicks but this one is for real! I have done a lot of fluting either with an edge guide or router table and this is much easier and far more accurate. And more important it really does save a tremendous amount of time particularly in repeat set-ups for different widths! Well worth the money!!!

I don't often give feedback, but this time is an exception. This jig works as good as they say, it's easy to use, and simple. The only suggestion I'd make is to have more pre-drilled holes in the base plate to fit other routers. Or, provide a template to center a different router to the base, to ensure the new holes are properly positioned. This jig was worth the $, I'll be using it on many more projects.

I do a bit of case work requiring adjustable shelving using the pin system.
On narrower shelving, this jig allows me to easily pop in the notches on the shelf bottoms to lock in the pins.
While it can be similarly used as an edge guide on wider shelves, it sure would be nice if the jig could accomodate wider widths. It's quick to set up for this purpose and just sliding the router over to hit both notches on each end of a shelf is very efficient.
Yep, it does pretty well at fluting too.

Saw this product a year ago and finally pulled the trigger. Needed custom sized fluted pilasters for a custom entryway. Worked like a charm! Not surprised: I buy lots of stuff from Rockler. Just wished a store was close to home!!

This is a great product. It took little time to get router holes drilled, but wasn't that bad. It did a great job. And for the flutes, they turned out just great. Thanks Rockler for another fine tool for my shop.

This device is great. I got it and was able to go right to work with it with very little difficulty. I would recommend this to anyone that is a profession or not. You should be able to use it with no problem. My pored cable router went right on it with "no" problem. It's just a good all around product. Five star from me!

Finally got a chance to play with my new fluting jig. I love it, it worked exactly as I hoped it would. Easily fit onto my Porter Cable router and made the flutes above with some practice pine. The adjustable guide can loosen if you're not careful but I just made sure the fixed guide was facing toward me and slightly pressed that side against my workpiece as I made the flutes. It worked great for me! Thanks Rockler!

I needed to match some existing fluted columns at my house. I was planing on contracting it out until I saw this jig. I hooked up my PC router and after a few tests, I had the finished product. I am amazed at how simple this jig is to use. Thank you Rockler!

For a recent kitchen remodel I commited to four 90" fluted columns. Unfortunately, I didn't know how I was going to accomplish this. I searched the internet for different options. Then I found this jig. I attached my Makita router without any problems, made a few marks for spacing, clamped some stop blocks and went to town. In a matter of two hours I had the flutes cut perfectly. This is a great jig. I'm sure I could have built a jig to accomplish the same thing, but it would have taken me too much time, and it wouldn't have been as easy to use as this one. I like it when a product does as advertised. Thanks Rockler.

I'm used to running flutes at work with a router table but when a side job came along that called for flutes I thought this might be a good opportunity to try something new. When I started the day in the shop I knew this phase of the job was looming, but I was pleasantly surprised to see that my Hitachi router fit perfectly with the pre-drilled holes. Step one, no problem. A quick re-look at the instructions and I had it all set up. I am running 3 flutes on 4" wide stiles that have both stop and start points. I ran all 8 stiles (4 one length and the other 4 another length) So after running 24 flutes I was thrilled and looking for something else to flute. I didn't have any issues with drifting and I was aware to keep an eye on the knobs and their tightness. Again, no issues. I have 4 more center stiles to run and then this phase of the job will be done. So in summary, I am very pleased with this product and am anxious to see how it performs over the long haul. Thanks Rockler!

I am not Norm from this old house but wanted to make a column with flutes in the center so I bought this jig and a new porta cable router. Column turned out great, this jig was so easy to use and worked very well. Only issue I had was the bolt head from my router did not sit below the surface so I need different bolts. I was not able to use my plunge base with this jig so makeing flutes in the center of the column was little challange. One of my best purchases.

I just received the fluting jig, and had to drill holes to fit my Dewalt & Festool routers. The jig worked flawlessly, and I highly recommend this product. I tightened the jig between routing each flute, so there were no issues. The instructions were straightforward, but I highly recommend testing on scrap wood and cutting the piece slightly oversized to ensure accurate spacing on teh edges. Great buy and so easy to use!!

I liked the ease and profesional out come of the jig. But the guide does loosen up easily, so must watch it to maintain accuracy. I was dissapointed of only three holes to mount router and they did not match any of my four routers. Seems like could have holes like a universal plate.

When I first saw the jig I knew it would do the job. I ordered it emmediately. Attached my PC router to it, fit perfectly. Operation was smooth and made perfect flutes. Needed this thing long ago.

Simply awesome. My last attempt was on a router table, it was terrible. I even managed to pick up a near new PC plunge router off of Craigslist, it mounted perfect. The operation was extremely smooth and thus allowed me to cut the fluting on the pic I posted. I was amazed that I was even the one who cut the fluting, I was thinking I must have been dreaming or something when looking at my finished product. The jig was extremely easy to use. I just say 'wow'.

Works fairly well but adjustable guide can loosen allowing jig to wander. Should be more secure. Does not fit all routers.

The product works well once it is set up. Could have saved me a lot of time by having other router holes cut or by providing a template. They say it fits most routers, but I tried it on three of mine and none fit. It is not good to have to spend additional time and effort for an operation that could have been done in the mfg process for almost nothing. I set it up with a Bosch 1617 and the Porter Cable holes do not fit. Absent that issue, I would have rated it either a 4 or 5.

This product works well, however they could have made the router mounting much easier by drilling a hole for a half-inch bushing in the center of the jig. I actually filled the hole with epoxy and drilled one and now I use any by simply installing the bushing into the router base. If you index a line in the center 90 degrees to the one provided, you can line up the jig very easily to your layout.

Ditto, ditto, ditto! Absolutely no complaints. Another fine Rockler product. Easy to mount, easy to use and I too cannot wait for my next project that requires flutes.
Next on my wish list....the Rockler box joint jig.
Thanks once again Rockler.

I checked several name brands of routers I needed to buy a new one, so I wanted to avoid altering the jig. None matched the predrilled jig holes and I ended up altering the jig anyway. The functionality of the jig was good and I created the necessary flutes for a mantel with relative ease.

This jig base isnt compatible with my two brand new routers...one of which is the most expensive Festool router I could find. It advertises the predrilled holes are compatible with most routers. Ha.

Could not fit it to my Sears or Freud Ft1200 bass, no holes line up. Also no instructions with the base. Would like to be more positive but will have to wait till I get a router to fit it. Thanks

Great tool but, could have some minor improvements.
Could have a saved a lot of time (and extra holes in plate) if there was a template to assist with drilling holes for my Bosch 1617. Also, there is a tendancy for the acrylic base guide to slip while making the flutes. Replacing the 1/4 inch 3-wing lock down with a larger 5/16 inch 4-wing would help.
This these changes I would have given it a "5 - Excellent"
