Mitre Maker

This post describes the Mitre Sled setup, including installation and trimming of the fence to suit the router bit you intend to use with the jig. We have made a new tool to help setup the jigs before shipping, in addition to another little 3d printed nut holder to help with the fence assembly. Early […]

This post describes a simple Mitre Sled project to upgrade my Ultimaker 3d printer to house a new power supply. I recently upgraded the Ultimaker with a heated bed which required extra power and decided to make a box using the Mitre Sled that the printer can sit securely on and house the new power […]

Our jigs are now shipped with a Mitre Maker DVD containing HD versions of all of our online videos and user manuals for the Mitre Maker, Spline Jig and Mitre Sled. A printed copy of the relevant User Manual will continue to be shipped with the jig. Now you will be able to upload our […]

Our Mitre Sled can be used with a range of different cutters provided they have bearings mounted into the shank below the cutting blades. In this article, we show a few cutter options for the Mitre Sled, introduce a custom cutter pair for interlocking mitres and look at some other off-the-shelf cutters for making boxes […]

Achieving great results with the Mitre Sled starts with well dimensioned timber boards and in particular, timber boards with parallel edges. In this post, we discuss a method of getting parallel sided boards, dimensioned to the width you want by using your router table and a simple fence and featherboard setup. This method assumes that […]

We posted a little while ago on some frame clamp variations, including cast frame clamps that are taller than the machined frame clamps, but have the same footprint as our mini frame clamps. We have been using the cast clamps for a while now and have decided to add them to our product range. Our […]

This article describes a combined dust extraction and cutter shield system for use on the router table and Mitre Maker jigs. The dust extractor is made of aluminium box section and is clamped directly to the the router table. The dust extractor is held firmly in place if two clamps are used near the edges […]

We posted a while back about a new jig for making mitre joints for box making using a table mounted router and a flush trim router bit. We have now taken the concepts from this jig and turned them into a prototype box making attachment to the Mitre Maker. The box maker attachment bolts directly […]

Here are a couple of Mitre Maker frame clamp variations on our standard frame clamps that I have found useful for gluing up deeper frames. This cast clamp is double the height of our standard clamp and is cast from polyurethane resin. These new cast clamps are modelled from our ‘mini’ clamps and have a […]

In the last couple of months we have been developing new stops for the Mitre Maker, which are now being cast from polyurethane resin rather than machined from compact laminate. We were introduced to the casting process by Mark, a talented local Blue Mountains maker from Studio Ham The new stops are more consistent, slide […]
