Woodpecker spline jig Woodpecker spline jig

Want to sell me something? Show it to me before I finish my morning coffee. I'm weak.


I didn't need this. The one I built works very well, easier too.


I like Woodpecker products. One morning, 2 - 3 years ago, this was so cheap I had to buy it. It's not my fault.

The winning argument is that this will work on the router table. That's what I keep telling myself. It could happen.

I bought an extra set of flip stops, and  did not use clamps to hold the box in place. The flip stops do that very well.



It's a Woodpecker! It is very well designed and built.

I've been putting on blue tape before cutting the spline slot. I haven't had any tear out next to the cut, and I'm using a 24 tooth rip blade.

Hairy...I get it....they just prey on us...wtf?  I have a Woodhaven jig.  It works great and I don't use it a lot, but this looks nice...and pretty.

I have one of the first  Woodpecker router  lifts and I love it. I don't need a spline jig because I made one that puts in straight splines and X splines. Regular spline sleds are easy to make and you appreciate it more if you make it yourself!!!!!!!!!

I made one, and used it.

And use it again.

Good review hairy.

 I like Woodpecker products. One morning, 2 - 3 years ago, this was so cheap I had to buy it. It's not my fault.
I'm a sucker for the 'Pecker's stuff too and glad you didn't post this earlier or I'd be a few shekels poorer today.

I made this hack a few years ago with the 19mm MDF sides riding in both my mitre tracks. 

The tracks not being equidistant from the blade, I can rotate the jig 180° and I can use a fifferent kerfed blade for different sized splines,

The 19mm MDF "bases" can be flipped (or replaced) to get more kerf configurations to avoid tear out... could also be used on the router table to make dovetail splines (sacrificial screw on bases).
Made a couple of 22.5° wedges

to accommodate my nightie flag box.  

If your first cut is too short... Take the second cut from the longer end... LBD
