Router template for edge slots in X-Carve wasteboard

thingiverse

I decided to build my own wasteboard with the Inventables X-Carve kit, planning a precise cut for the edge mounting slots at 9mm from center, but lacked a convenient method until I had access to a 3D printer. The jig is designed for a Porter Cable router with a 3/4 inch OD guide bushing and extra space for clamps, allowing accurate cutting of my needed bits. I'm using the Freud undersized plywood bit set, opting for the 7/32 inch (Freud 16-094) bit for through slots and the 15/32 inch (Freud 16-109) bit for 5mm stopped holes. A raised line on the outside of a small extra tab helps with layout alignment. The jig does not require additional support during printing, with a sufficient amount being achieved by using 20% infill alone.
