Cutting Board Side Finger Grip Jig

Creating finger grips on the sides of your cutting boards doesn't have to be a chore anymore!

This powerful jig makes pocketing out finger grip / hand grips into the side of a cutting board a breeze. This jig makes 5x1" finger/hand grips with a 0.5" internal radius on the inside corners. The integrated centering marks and measurement lines make centering and levelling the jig an easy task.

The jig features sliding adjustable bottom panels made of clear 3/8" acrylic with PLA plastic clamps and will fit cutting boards between 1 and 3" in thickness. To ensure the clamps make sufficient contact with your cutting board we recommend that the side of your board be at least 10". 

When you are ready to pocket out your grip, grab your handheld router along with any suitable pocketing bit with a bottom mounted bearing. We recommend a rounded / bowl bit for the nicest interior corner finish. Alternatively if you dont have a bit with a bearing, you can use any standard pocketing bit along with a router bushing (the router bushing acts as the bearing, riding along the interior perimeter of the jig).

A must have jig if you make cutting boards or butcher blocks! Make sure you check out our full line of helpful jigs here.
