t can be tricky trying to make the end grain coping cuts on the rails of a frame and panel door without this handy router table jig.
During assembly the end of the backing board is aligned with the bearing on your coping cutter. Then, just position the end of your
rail flush with the end of the backer board for a perfect tearout-free coping cut. Add the T-Track Plus with a user made stop to make
cutting the opposite end of the first piece and any subsequent pieces of equal length a simple matter of clamp and cut. The Build-It
Clamp is required for this type of cut so don’t forget to pick one up from your local Incra dealer.
Add a Miter Slider and (2) T-Slot Panel Connectors to a small Build-It Panel and place in the
miter slot at your router table. Adjust the Miter Slider to fit your slot. Cut a piece from another
Build-It Panel to fill the gap between the
existing assembly and your router collet.
You’ll want this piece to be about 1”
narrower than the distance between
the T-Slot Panel Connector and the 1/2”
shank of the cutter. Cut 3/4” material for
the fence to 4” x 18”, then cut the (2)
5/16” wide slots as shown. (The slotted
holes will permit support for angled work
but you can simply drill (2) 5/16” holes
spaced 8-1/2” apart if you are only
interested in a 90 degree fence position.)
Attach the fence with Build-It Knobs and
1/4-20 x 1-1/2” hex bolts with washers
then add the 18” T-Track Plus. The T-Track
should be offset from the business end
of the fence by 2” to provide safe cutter
clearance. For most coping work, the
fence should be adjusted square to the
edge of the panels with the end just
touching the cutter’s bearing guide.
