Anatomy of a Precision Jig
It took five years to complete the design and testing of the Leigh FMT. As we worked through the process, it became clear the new jig would be mechanically demanding to produce. The final version incorporates 88 extruded, die cast or injection molded parts, each requiring a custom die or mold. Another 18 components are CNC (Computer Numerically Controlled) machined to very precise tolerances. The jig that took us five years to develop takes you only five minutes to understand well enough to produce a perfect mortise and tenon joint. At a retail price lower than ever before, the FMT is clearly the best value on the market today.
1 The aluminum clamp plate is CNC machined with a non slip non marring textured surface
2 Two powerful 3" cam action speed clamps provide amazing holding power for mortise and tenon workpieces
3 Two powerful 3" cam action speed clamps provide amazing holding power for mortise and tenon workpieces
4 An aluminum side stop fence has a positive 90° stop and can be angled up to 45° in either direction
5 The 1-3/8" dust collection port can be stepped up to 2-1/2" or stepped down to 1" with the two included adaptors
6 The table is made from Mic6® aluminum and the channels and recesses are CNC machined to exacting standards
7 The table moves side to side, front to back and locks in place with the flip of the clamp lever
8 A retractable sight is used to centre the table over the work piece layout marks
9 Table limit stops can be set for precise repositioning of the table
10 21 different joint guides snap easily into the table
11 Guides and track are made from Delrin plastic for smooth router movement
12 The router sub base is CNC machined aluminum
13 The stainless steel tapered guide pins track laterally on the right and in or around a guide on the left.
Fine adjustments for joint fit i.e .001", are made with the left guide pin.
14 Teflon bearing pads make routing very smooth
15 The FMT sub base accepts almost any plunge router on the market
