Home Blog Coming next week, the R9PLUS system

October 31, 2011 By Al Navas

Coming next week, the R9PLUS system

 

As you know, I have been busy preparing for the written exam, to become certified as a Missouri Court Interpreter. I will sit for the exam on November 6 (yippee!) – please, wish me luck!

Next up, a neat jig!

Starting next week I will be back in the shop – and, first up, I get to use the newest jig from Leigh, the R9 Plus Joinery System. I look forward to making 3 sizes of box joints and 3 sizes of through dovetails, all on boards of any width. This will be a GREAT investment for anyone looking for a low initial investment to do this joinery!

For example, for dovetails, with the template in the right-hand position:

 

And for finger joints on a narrow work piece:

The following are the features of this new jig:

  • Unlimited board widths
  • Through dovetails
  • Any board thickness up to 13/16”
  • 3 pin widths – 3/8”, 7/16” & 1/2”
  • 2 joint pitches, 1 1/2” & 3/4”
  • Box joints
  • Any board thickness up to 1”
  • 3 sizes – 3/16”, 3/8” & 3/4”
  • No jig adjustments
  • Joint fit is controlled by patented eBush
  • Works on your router table or with a standalone router
  • Adjustable width clamping
  • Mounts to shop made beam to keep cost low
  • Replaceable backer board eliminates tear out

 

Disclosure: Leigh provides me with jigs from time to time, for evaluation purposes. I provide my own reviews here on the blog. And I help people with questions about joinery using the Leigh jigs — many of you know I love pitching in to help, whenever I can.
