Jasper jig

[ekah]

I got the jig from amazon for 36$

And router

The router seems to not line up straight with the jig it's a bit crooked if you can't tell with the mounting holes. Would this play a part in cutting the hole off or does everyone experiance this and it should be fine?

Since the Jasperjig fits a variety of diff brands/models of routers, they may all not be perfectly centered on point with the jig in place. As long as the bottom black plastic piece from the router itself is removed and the jasper jig fits in the 3 holes that best line up with each other, your good to go.

Oh I think I know what you did there. The black plastic piece on the bottom of the router should have 3 screws. Remove the screws, and mount the jasper jig on bottom with countersunk holes that best line up the 3 holes then put the screws back in.

Under the black base plate theres only 2 black screws that I removed. Seems the router fits not accurate from across another but it's the only one that fits that seems to make it in the center of the jig hole. Any other holes I try to align it would make the router bit not be align with the jasper hole.

First picture is where the 2 black screws were behind the router base plate

2nd picture showing where it best lines up but makes it crooked using only 2 screws to hold it down.

Ooo bad news then. That router may not be for that specific model then. Might have to look on Partsexpress website and see if that jig fits that model.

@ekah So here's a few pics of my router and jasper jig....and the 3 screws I was talking about...










I noticed you posted this same thing over at SMD Forum as well. I wouldn't trust what they said there. Unless your jasper jig is sitting flat and not at an angle, your cuts are gonna be angled.

It's crucial to use the supplied peg and the acrylic disc to center everything up the first time. Throw the calibration/centering peg in the chuck, hand tighten. Leave the acrylic centering disc installed in the jig and slip it over the peg onto the router base, line up with the screw locations. There should be almost zero play and you will know it's centered, then tighten the screws that hold the jig to the router base.

Mine is 1/8 inch off even with the proper bit size. Which is weird because the chuck sits dead center on the jig. I used the measurements on the jig as a reference but always triple check before I plunge.
