Woodpecker’s Route-N-Plane surfacer

“If it’s less than 3” tall and 15” wide it will fit”

Just right for thicknessing stuff that is too small for the planer. They show some clever hold downs too.

I don’t know when this device was introduced but it’s on sale for $150. Seems like a bargain to me.

Dead link?

The link worked for me.

Launched today! I'm pretty stoked. The design grew out of a shop-made jig I built to demonstrate one of our replaceable insert spoilboard bits that launched a couple months ago.

[member=7266]jeffinsgf[/member] you got a sale from me on it.  Seemed to solve a sweetspot of a problem.

looks interesting.  Any ideas on how to make it do a juice groove?

Use an MFS template.  Oh!  You didn't get one before they were discontinued?  So sorry!  [big grin]

Not to worry...we make something very, very similar.https://www.woodpeck.com/woodpeckers-variable-router-jig.html

That said, the last one I cut, I measured the offset from the center of my bit to the edge of the base on my palm router, cut a piece of 1/4" plywood the size of the juice groove minus the offset and double-face taped it down. Probably would have been tippy with a full size router, but with a palm router it worked great. We have a 1/2" diameter, 3/16" radius 3-flute bowl bit that makes a very nice juice groove.
