I'm an old retired guy who has come into the woodworking very late in the game. My desire is to spend whatever remaining time that I have, making things (gifts, etc) not shop furniture or jigs/tools. I've been looking for something like this and was THRILLED that you had them for purchase on your website. You are indeed an amazing woman. Thank you for your contribution to my retirement hobby.
from another retired old guy that has taken up wood working ,Its nice to know I'm not the only one. I have also taken up songwriting at this late stage of the game , its kind of fun if you play a guitar or some other instrument but it's not easy I have come to find out. Good luck buddy hang in there.
Hi I am in the same boat, good luck
Tamar, all of us in the woodworking community are lucky that you chose to be in it. Your creativity is over the top !!! This jig will bring many new people into this community. Thanks, hope your having a great day.
That’s so awesome to hear. Thank you ☺️
I second Bruce's comment.
I third that comment.
I am one of those newbies. So new I don't even have a router yet. But I immeditly saw the value and ordered on the first run.
All unpacked and ready for a router.
You're*
Agreed, you're a woodworking Legend Tamara, waiting on my notification that things are back in stock?!
I swear this woman is a genius! We're really lucky to have you around in this community
For all of you considering purchasing this jig. Just do it! It is a very useful tool and a bargain. I built it. It was fun, but purchasing the parts will probably cost you the same amount and it won't be perfectly made like this. Good luck Tamar. You should sell a million! I would have bought it and probably others. Ever consider going into business manufacturing jigs? Call it "3X3 Custom Jigs". Seems obvious for. you. Contact April Wilkerson. She has a stand alone business and employees who manufacture her products, using multiple CNC machines, and ship them out to her customers. This is probably how Kreg started out.
Glad you like it so much! 3x3 custom jigs. I like the sound of that. Ha
This is amazing. I have wanted this jig for a long time. The quality and thought that you put into your work in design is above and beyond. I direct everyone that I can to your site because everything you do is inspiring and at a level most woodworkers can not wrap their head around. You explain everything so well. Thanks for being you, showing the good (and the bad), and putting the amount of love that you do into your work.
What a lovely, powerful jig! I hope you can develop an adapter from this jig to the inexpensive clamp-on tracks from multiple manufacturers, that enable quick, low-risk straight-line grooves, dadoes and rabbets.
I cannot wait for mine to arrive! I’m equally excited to see what you come up with next. The integrity you have in your work shows up in your videos and this type of integrity will make people buy everything you create! I have my money ready!!
Watching you grow as a woodworker has been a real pleasure. All of us in this community are blessed that you are part of it. God only knows just how far your talent and intelligence will take you … I for one look forward to watching it. Cheers!
I’m just stoked that I can finally give back to Tamar for all of the work she’s done. For me, it’s less about the specific projects and more about seeing her thought process and problem solving. I’m hobby oriented, so my projects are primarily one offs. I don’t do production or sales. Except dice towers…I’ve made many varieties of those :) Her ideas consistently add to my mental planning and execution toolkit. Bonus, I’ll have a kick butt router base that will make me a better maker :)
How can I get this router jig, and how much does it cost.
Just received mine a couple days ago, that was fast! Quality looks great and assembly was easy. I obviously haven't done a lot with it yet since I just got it, but did try a simple no hole circle on some scrap and it worked perfectly. No hole!
Nice! That’s my favorite feature for sure!
Oh wow! I’m jealous. Anxiously awaiting my arrival. Have fun!
So I bought the first round of these when they came out. Used the hell out of it. Then yesterday my router slipped put of the housing and onto the floor and I broke the jig. Ugh! Fortunately KM Tools still sells it so I got another on ordered. Can't live without it!
Can't wait to get my router template and try it!
Thank to both of you, Tamar and Jonathan, to have made a joint venture to help us getting better at woodworking!
I ordered this as soon as it was out. I'm excited to get it.
I am ready to order probably any jigs you come up with.
I'm not great at coming up with jigs so I'm happy to support you.
Great tutorial. And you’ve built amazing versatility into the jig. I can’t wait to receive mine, and I’m so glad that I got in on the first run. Congratulations, by the way, on selling out. I predict that will be a recurring circumstance.
Thanks so much! So crazy!
Just got mine!!! My brain is in overload with all the possibilities!!! Thanks Tamar!!!!!!!
Excellent tutorial Tamar!👌
What better way to promote this jig than to simply show it's many uses.👍
The best part is actually encouraging people to go beyond the product and expand their own horizons.🤙
Makes me want to get a router just to use the kit! Good Job as always!
Haha nice
This 6 in 1 jig is absolutely brilliant! You had me on the presale video with Katz Moses… and I pre-ordered then. Now after watching this video I am even more excited for the day it comes!!
Thanks for such an ingenious piece of shop equipment.
Awesome. Can’t wait for you to get it!
Same here! Bravo and well done!
Thanks for the additional tips, Tamar. Looking forward to getting my jig and stop block once you catch up on your orders. It is so cool that you have enjoyed such an early success with this launch. Can't wait to see what else is unleashed from that creative mind of yours!
I received my 6-in-1 Universal Trim Router Jig today. I've been wanting to make a 5" sanding disc for my drill. With this jig, I accomplished it in no time. I am in the same boat with John Fogg - "You are indeed an amazing woman." Thank you
Wow Tamar. Not only are you an awesome woodworker, you’re also a great industrial designer, teacher, business and marketing success and mentor. You must have incredible energy to do all that and raise kids. Can’t wait to buy one
☺️☺️
Suggestion - make the various holes numbered instead of colored if someone's colorblind or doesn't have a color printer
My issue exactly. I am colorblind. So, as much as this tool would streamline my woodworking, I wouldn’t be able to use it.
@@SamFrayer You could take your router base and align it to the jig base. Would take a little more time, but since it is centered, rotate until it matches up. Would that work?
@@JNRII yes that’s what I did. Only took maybe 30 seconds to find the holes. I didn’t feel like printing the guide.
Where would get the router that you have it looks good
Reply please
Received my order this week and got it installed, fits perfectly! Thanks for such a fantastic kit, and also for this tutorial!!
Tamar, love the jig. Helped me with my pantry build project. I never built a jig before. Now I am building a Moxan vise to add to my tools. Thanks for the inspiration.
Router jig arrived a couple of weeks ago. Just started using it. Fantastic tool. I'm still a newbie when it comes to my router. This jig will go a long way to upping my skill level and confidence. Thanks Tamar for a great product!
Tamar, I received my jig and I must say the quality is absolutely astounding! Great job at the amazing design and endless possibilities. I have not had a chance to get back into my wood shop but I will be using this awesome jig soon. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us❤️❤️❤️
I'm a total newbie to woodworking and love this video on how to use the jig. I just received my Router Jig and can't wait to start using it thanks to you and all your helpful information!
Thanks for all you do for the woodworking community. Thumbs up!
Just got my jig today and it is epic. Sooooo many challenging efforts made easy by this bad bear. Can’t wait to find every trick! Thanks for a very useful product!
Received mine this week and already put it to use yesterday. Wow what control I now have and more safety, too. Tamar this is an excellently designed product and really an excellent value, too as I could not have produced this on my own anywhere near the cost and quality. Thank you!
Such a great jig! As always, a fantastic demo video. I purchased the kit right away to support your innovative brain and as a motivator to use my router more. Can’t wait to see what you come up with next!!.
Great detailed-but-easy-to-follow video. You have a gift for explaining these things. And I echo the others praising your creativity. Thank you!
Thanks for this video. I have this jig on order, but belatedly realized that Bosch has two trim routers called Colt plus plunge bases. This video showing the screw hole patterns was shown just long enough to allow me to see the several Bosch combinations that the jig was designed for. Pretty much assures me that the jig will work for me.
Always enjoy your content. Great work!
Just got mine today and set it up on my Dewalt cordless. Very impressed with the quality, a great addition to any shop!
I'm glad I made the pre-order because you have put a TON of thought into your product. Can't wait to receive it. Thanks for all your efforts!
Tamar, a lot of people can learn how to repeat what someone else has already done. Few can figure out how it can be done better. I love your channel you are always full of great and practical ideas. Very happy for the success you rightfully deserve!
☺️☺️
Thank you Tamar... I've ordered mine and I'm looking forward to receiving it in the new year! I hope you and the family have a Merry Christmas and a very prosperous 2023.
Used this jig for trimming hardwood edge banding this am as a test for a big project. Amazing. I have dreaded trimming homemade banding forever due to wobbly routers, but this worked like magic. Honestly, I lack the ability to express how impressive this router jig is.
Just got mine a few days ago and can't wait to put it to work. Thanks so much for all of the uses, Tamar!
Love the jig definitely making a portable router table base to go along with it. I do recommend breaking off the edges with a razor and rounding off the corners with some sand paper. There is also a little burr on the laser cut emblem that easily comes out with a razor as well. Can’t wait to see what comes out next!
Thank you Tamar, I was so pleasantly surprised, I ordered mine on the 16th of May and was delivered on the 24th. Wow…. I thought it will take couple weeks. Excellent service, about to put it to work this weekend.
Outstanding. Ordered mine in the first run, and am excited to get and start using it. The tip for smaller circles is great, as I plan on making a bunch of cornhole boards this summer and didn't want to mess with the larger circle cutting jigs. Thanks, as always, for your information - you're one creative person!
Awesome. Glad it’s going to be helpful! I have used it to make cornhole boards as well!
Loving that I got into the presale within hours of your video release on UA-cam advertising it. It's a game changer for me! You rock!
Awesome!
I’m not sure how you came up with such a versatile jig, but you did such a great job. I just got mine a couple weeks ago and it really can do it all. Thank you
Ive made a good living making custom furniture and cabinetry and I’ve been watching you for a Very long time and am just so happy for you and how far you’ve come. Congratulations on your success. Could not happen to a better person.
That’s so awesome to hear. Thanks so much! ☺️
This is a game changer for me. I'm glad I'm in the first run. I've been afraid of using my trim router and this will give me freedom to enjoy it! Thanks so much!
Awesome! Excited for you to get it!
Watching this again as I just got my router jig in the mail, perfectly packed, looks just like the video! All the paper has been peeled off and now it’s time to set it up.
BTW: my paper came off just fine, but then the box had been sitting on my Arizona porch for an hour before I grabbed it. No additional heat necessary!
I bought one can’t wait to get it. I enjoy your enthusiasm and fearless approach!
I received the 6-in-one jig last week. Between this UA-cam, instructions emailed, and experimenting, it’ll be a great addition to my wood work shop! - Maker Hop Sing
Got mine about a month ago, but since I'm a truck driver that runs from Indiana to the Pacific Northwest 3 times a month, haven't had too much chance to use it yet, But what I have, it is absolutely amazing how much control it gives you. Think I am going to try to make one for my big Bosch router.
Just got the jig. I've only used it for a dado (for a T-track) and it is awesome. I'm going to be using this jig a lot! I'm glad I returned my fixed base router for the palm router just so I'd be able to use this jig. So glad I did. Totally worth it. Thanks so much to you and Jonathan Katz-Moses.
I'm looking forward to getting mine, you have made the setup clearer I'm sure. Put it this way if I get stuck, just watch this again. Glad I got the first run 🙂
Awesome. Glad it was helpful!
Tamar and Jonathan Katz-Moses just received my 6in1 and Stop block. Set up took about 5 minutes and tested was super accurate. Postage to the UK was superfast 4 days. Keep up the good work and I look forward to more video info and tools.
Saw the 6-in-1 router jig and thought, this is just what I need!
I asked about shipping to the UK and Tamar got back to me immediately. I didn't hesitate and ordered the next day. I received my jig 2 weeks later, amazing!
Thanks Tamar! I've been looking forward to this, so excited for when my jig arrives! I've already had to finish one project without it. Thanks for all of your hard work in putting this together, I'm so thrilled for your success!
We’re working hard to get them shipped!
Best channel for learning and inspiration by far.. Your enthusiasm along with your ability to articulate your views and ideas in such an endearing way simply make me want to learn more and more. Nice 1!
Tamar, This is a great jig. i built it from your plans and everything went great until I went to use it for the first time. I had attached my Makita router with the plunge base as I felt this would be the most versatile setup. When I put on the edge guide piece, I couldn't get it close enough to the bit because the plunge base is bigger that the regular base and it gets in the way of the bolts to hold the edge guide. Not a problem to make another edge guide piece a little wider and the setup worked great. This is a well thought out and versatile setup, just needed some tweaking in my instance.
Got my jig in about 5 days. Very nice quality and easy to assemble. Only hiccup was when I put on my Bosch colt, the screws sat a little proud. I carefully deepened the holes with a 5/16 forstner bit and now they are flush. Can't wait to use this on many projects. Was going to build a circle cutting jig. Now I don't have to
i just got mine yesterday....so the timing of this video is perfect. can't wait to start using it!
Amazing. Have fun!
Hi Tamar!
I am amazed at the quality of the tools and devices you present to us!!
Here in Brazil! tools with this quality are very expensive!! Unfortunately!!
I will continue to watch your videos!! Are the best!!
Take care!!👏
Thanks so much for your very thoughtful insights. Your explanations are clear and to the point. I have used many of your suggestions in my woodworking.
I ordered the jig and received the email instructions as well. Thank you for the video, I am more of a visual learner and appreciate your sharing this information. I am excited to receive my jig. Tamar, you are awesome!
Just ordered this jig and I can't wait to get it in. Awesomeness.
This was so well done! I'm looking forward to getting the Jig! I'm just starting my shop and so happy to have jumped in at the get go!
Fantastic! This’ll be worth waiting for. You’re a real gift to the woodworking community!! Thank you!!
☺️☺️☺️
great product, was pleasantly surprised to receive it in less than a week when your presale launch vid and confirmation email said 4-6 week lead time. thanks so much!
Since being able to use this trim router jig for months now, this is what I have discovered: Take this jig, a recommended router (mine is the Dewalt router) and the Micro jig clamping system and the possibilities for creating not only jigs but other woodworking projects is pretty much endless. Thanks for this invaluable tool you have designed and created!
Nicely done, simple, clean and safe accessory
So glad I took the leap and bought it. This video just solidified my decision. I was going to pay $25 for a circle cutting template from Amazon to make speakers but with this, I can do sooooooo much more. Thanks!
Awesome!! So glad I made this video then!
You are a delight to watch. AND you offer a worthwhile product. Thanks Tamar
I love this jig. I put it on my old DWP611 and I am amazed at the increased control I have when routing. I like to make dovetail boxes and rabbit the inside of the top edge of the box to accept the lid. I cannot believe how much easier it is to rout the rabbits with the wide base and double handles on the jig. Thanks!
So awesome to hear!
Mine came in the mail today so as promised, I watch the video. A lot to digest and I'll be coming back to it often. Kudos on the idea of turning into a small router table. Extra benefit of making the portable work bench. I'm going to start practicing with it tomorrow. Aloha .... tjb
I received mine today, delivered all the way to the UK. (I had one stuipd issue with it, which was my own fault.) I had printed page 2 out, but it seems, not at 100%, so I couldn't get the dots to line up. I got in touch with Tamah, (with no intention of returning it BTW.) and Tamah had it figured one with her first suggestion... Which was, to make sure it was printed at 100%. I printed it out again and all the dots lined up perfectly. Tamah you truly are amazing. Thank you so much!
PS. Fantastic customer service too... Tamah got back to me within a min or so, and with a few messages back and forth, and all replies were in super fast time as well, she soon had it sussed. Thank you again Tamah.
OH MY!!! Just used your jig for the first time to freehand route a sign. IT'S THE BOMB!!! Just thought you should know.
I like watching the video compared to having to read instructions. Recived mine today and looking forward to puttting it to work. Best packaging of a product i have recived in a long time.
Have fun with it!
Awesome multi-function jig! By far the best jig for a router of many YT Clips I saw!
Just ordered one here to Germany. Many many thanks for the possible international shipping!
Just used mine for the first time and it worked great!
Great video. Video shows how to use it, what and can used for, and showing it is not just limited by what it was originally planned for, like the splines. Looking forward to more.
Glad you liked it!
Hi Tamar,
Great jig and an excellent 'total package'. It is the total sum of all these 'little things' that makes this outstanding!
I can't wait to see 'what else you come up with' next.
Willem
Mine came in last week and I immediately used it to flush trim some dowel plugs. worked perfectly. thanks
Awesome!
Awesome jig, and I might add that it has most features of many higher priced commercial versions. I would only recommend using a drop of (removable) Loctite to that threaded pin. Cheap insurance. I have lost (and then manufactured) a similar pin for router table plate.
FANTASTIC build, all around.
I have ordered this Jig to EU which is really great and very usefull tool and super easy to use. Tamar, thank you to share your woodworking skills with us. 😊
Awesome! Have fun with it!
Had mine a few weeks now and it has delivered 100 percent. Believe the hype! I even managed to knock it off my bench with the extension arms attached and I was terrified that something would have cracked or chipped off (it fell onto a concrete floor). It was no worse for the wear at all, no damage. As a precaution, I got my centering bit and reset the base to make sure it was back on center and after that I was back in business. Can't even tell it took a tumble. The edge guide worked like a charm and everything was easy to change out. Absolutely no complaints! If you're thinking about getting one of these, wait no longer. Get one, and I promise you will not regret it.
Really great job here. I was wondering about a video to see this in action. I’m absolutely going to get one. Excellent marketing strategy to have a full video on the uses and functions. Great job!
Only incredibly complete instructions and suggestions! Sadly my jig has not been delivered yet although I ordered pretty early in the offering. It looks pretty robust and stable. Sometimes the plexi can be a bit too flexible but this seems solid. I think this jig combined with your portable bench/vise will be ideal.
What a versatile jig. All possible options are included. Nice to have one
👍👍
Lady I love your videos ❤️💞 when I'm down just watching your videos picks me up feeling better thankyou
You are a real pleasure to watch! Love your passion and creatively. I should have ordered when I saw you on Katz Moses channel but I am on the list now! Congratulations and looking forward to your future ideas!
Mine just arrived today. I am so excited to use it! And peeling the paper film off was oddly satisfying after a long, frustrating day at work.
Haha glad you found it satisfying!
Tamar, I always enjoy watching you and what you show so well.
nice work Tamar. very creative and effective. you are incredibly talented in problem solving.
What an incredibly useful jig! I hope to see more of your genius jigs in production in the near future. Keep up the great work!
Thanks so much!
I have been meaning to make a jig like this for several months and just have to many other projects going on. Purchased this and I would recommend. Nice kit. Only issue I have had is the screws for my router(dewalt) protrude from the router base but that's a quick fix. Switch to countersink screws or just sand down the heads of screws about a mm.
If you are having any issues please reach out to support@3x3custom.com and we will sort it out 👍
Waiting on delivery of mine. Can't wait to get it and put it to work. This is a great video and I appreciate your explaining it's uses and options. Good luck on this endeavor with JKM.
I just received my router jig and can't wait for it to stop raining here in SO CA so I can use it! LOL Killer design, super well thought out and manufactured and explained wonderfully! One would be hard pressed to procure and assemble to this level of quality at the price you are providing this excellent tool! Thank you and very well done!
So awesome to hear. Have fun with it!
I love this jig and cannot wait until mine arrives! Keep on being your awesome self!
Just got mine in the UK. It's beautiful. Can't wait to give it a go!
Tamar, I just received the combination 6-in-1 Universal Trim Router and Bench top router table combo today and I'm so excited to start using it. Thanks for this easy to use router tool kit!
Awesome! Have fun with it!
Just ordered one up to the great white north. Incredibly well thought out design and an incredibly versatile design that works amazing even as is, but I really like the fact that you encourage other people to come up with other attachments. Noticed in your shop that you also offer the plans for sale as well, so if folks already have access to the supplies/tools needed, they can bang one out themselves, which I thought was really great. Get everyone on this platform! Also I appreciate your shipping to Canada at a reasonable price. Cheers!
So glad you’re happy with it! Have fun!
Excellent explanations and demonstrations.
