New Drainer Groove Pro Jig

1 June 2018
	The new Drainer Groove Jig increases the range of jigs available to the trade and now allows solid wood and solid surface worktops to have a range of different draining groove designs let into the surface for added diversity and bespoke options. The 12mm thick high-pressure laminate jig comprises an outer frame with a drop in internal sliding router carriage that offers ´X,Y´ movement to allow the router to travel freely and can also be locked to any position for specific groove positions. Along with a series of length stop positions on the outer frame, it also allows the groove length to be altered to suit shorter worktops or to introduce your own designs. A built-in fall on the jig sets a suitable taper into any grooves to allow water to drain freely and with the free movement the internal frame allows, recesses can easily be made into the surface to give a flat area with the same fall that can then be used with or without additional grooving. The DG PRO jig also has a range of five templates available with three fan designs: Curved, Straight and Lightning plus a standard parallel groove and a Hot Rod options. These templates drop into the outer frame with a fool proof locator design and have adjustments to eliminate any movement between the template and frame during the cutting operation. The jig is used with a 1/2¨ shank plunge router fitted with a 30mm guidebush (20mm guidebush for the Lightning Fan Template) and suitable cutters.
