A
Unique, Powerful Machine For Every Jointing Task
The WoodRat was developed
to solve all the inherent problems of a dovetail jig.
Now you can make superb, elegant, super-strong Dovetails
bigger, smaller and with more variations than ever
before. No dovetail jig comes close.
This incredible Machine
will also create excellent Mortise
and Tenons, Sliding
Dovetails, Dowel Joints, Dado Joints, Lap Joints,
Raised Panels, Halving Joints, Bridle Joints as well
as fantastic miniature Finger Joints and more. It
also performs all your router table tasks such as
Decorative Profiles
and Grooves.
Now routing is a pleasure and a real
creative journey. Instead of a complicated array of
jigs, you have one intuitive machine for every jointing
task - simple or complex.
Absolute Control With Pin-Point Accuracy
The router can be moved back and forth
and it can be stopped at any distance from the machine
face. Wood, clampe d onto the sliding bar, can be
tracked left or right with pinpoint accuracy using
the handle.
Cutting on the X and Y axis forms the
basis of nearly all jointing operations. The Z axis
is given by the plunge of the router which is mounted
the right way up with all the controls easily visible
and accessible. You even get a clear view of every
cut.
If you’re used to an ordinary
jointing jig with metal fingers, you might be anxious
about losing the edge-to-edge contact that the jig
provides. There’s no need to worry. The WoodRat
makes perfect, repeatable joints accurate to a 1/1000”
simply by working to pencil lines on the machine.
It's the time honored way and it works perfectly.
No Templates
WoodRat's unfussy approach uses no templates.
This means that you’re not asked to pay more
money every time you need a different setting or a
new joint. You decide how big the joints are and where
they go. You are in complete control.
Easy To Use
Just clamp the wood in and cut. It's
that simple. The manual guides you step by step through
all the main jointing operations, getting you up to
speed quickly and easily. There's lot you can learn,
but it's not complicated. Ratting is "hands-on"
great fun!
Safe
The router is tool that demands respect.
One slip can ruin your work or even cause serious
injury. Bolted in the 'Rat is perhaps the easiest,
safest place it can be used. It is safely housed until
brought foward for a cut. Your hands stay well away
from the bit making it ideal for the beginner.
Saves Money
The WoodRat is not a cheap tool, it's
a professional quality Machine made in Great Britain.
However, buy a WoodRat and you wont need a Dovetail
Jig, M&T Jig or Router Table. A dramatic saving
overall.
Built Tough
The basis for the WoodRat is a rock-solid,
precision engineered aluminum chassis. Other parts
are robust synthetic laminate and glass-reinforced
nylon. It's ultra-reliable and ready for the rigors
of daily use in a commercial workshop. And it looks
great too.
