Drawer Handle Router Jig Makita RT0700C

thingiverse

@chappel did a fantastic video on making some drawers, (apart from using toxic MDF), which used a printed handle, and a router base/template jig combo to route out the perfect hole. However before I printed, I noted some changes I wanted to make, so remixed them here. # Template The template has a fixed position for the handle from top of drawer front. I wanted to make it adjustable by simply screwing on a wooden baton. The template requires screwing to the drawer front. Chappel screws to the back, and routes right through, however if you have 19mm (3/4") fronts, you want to route from the front. Using a long baton allows you to clamp it to your front instead (which @chappel did in an earlier video of a workbench) - Original template takes 5h 46m using standard prusa slicr settings - Mine takes 3h 45m - Original template uses 110g of filament - Mine uses 60g This is because I made it an open mould, rather than hollow, so no infill or base required. It's plenty strong this way - trust me! # Router Base My router base is smaller (it just needs to be large enough not to fall in the hole at any point) - Therefore it goes from 2h 43m print time to 1h 47m - and from 55g filament to 30g The depth of cut for @chappel handles is 10mm. The router bit is a standard 1/2" bit 13mm bit may make the hole a bit large, if you only have metric, I suggest trying 12mm first. # Other Routers / Bits Both the screw holes for the base, and the template are parameterised Fusion 360 files, so I could easily produce templates and bases for any router or bit combination. If the exact measurements of the screw holes for the base were provided.
