Whisky Jack Spline Cutting Jig

Description

Take your woodworking to the next level with the Whisky Jack Spline Cutting Jig—a precision-engineered tool designed to reinforce miter joints while adding a decorative touch that enhances the visual appeal of your projects. Whether you’re working with a table saw or a router table, this jig ensures perfectly positioned spline slots that dramatically improve joint strength and durability, making your work last for generations.

Built for versatility and ease of use, the jig features two adjustable height settings and supports workpieces ranging from ½” to 16” wide. This allows for a smooth, controlled glide just above the machine table, keeping your cuts consistent and your hands safe. Customizable stop settings give you full control over spline placement, letting you align each slot exactly where you need it—perfect for both structural integrity and design flexibility.

More than just a functional tool, the Whisky Jack Spline Cutting Jig adds a unique visual element to your joinery. Splines don’t just strengthen mitered corners; they also serve as an eye-catching feature that sets your craftsmanship apart. Whether you’re building frames, boxes, or fine furniture, this jig simplifies the process. Just set your stops, position your pre-glued miter joint, and make the cut—it’s that straightforward.

For more creative spline joints—whether you’re going for wider splines or the classic elegance of dovetail splines—the Whisky Jack Spline Cutting Jig pairs perfectly with your router table. With a straight bit, you can easily cut spline slots in a variety of widths: 1/4″, 3/8″, 1/2″, or even larger, depending on your design. Want to add a traditional touch? Swap in a dovetail bit to cut beautiful dovetail slots. You can then create the matching spline inserts with the same bit, using two passes for a precise fit.

To really make your splines pop, consider using a contrasting wood species for bold visual impact—or go for a more subtle, seamless look by matching the spline to the main material. Either way, your joints will be stronger and more visually compelling.

The jig also includes standard-sized T-slots, giving you the flexibility to enhance your setup with flip stops, hold-down clamps, and other accessories for greater control and repeatability. (Compatible accessories include Whisky Jack Part Numbers: WJ50-087 and WJ25-101.)
