WHAT IS WOODRAT

One system. Unlimited joints.

WoodRat is a router-based joinery system for cutting accurate, repeatable dovetails, mortise and tenon joints, sliding dovetails and many other workshop joints.

WHAT CAN YOU MAKE

Precision Joinery

Crafted for perfect fit, strength, and a clean, refined finish.

Real Workshop Use

WoodRat is useful in real workshops because it was made for daily use, not just demonstrations. It was made to be accurate, fast, and dependable, and it works well on real projects, cut after cut.

Designed and refined over 40 years
