Why This Tool Is Worth It

Routing a juice groove freehand is one of those tasks where a small mistake ruins hours of work. The groove has to stay parallel to every edge, the corners need consistent radii, and the depth has to be uniform around the whole board. A dedicated jig solves all of those problems in one shot.

This jig adjusts in both directions, so you can dial in a groove that sits exactly 1 inch in from the edges on cutting boards up to 18 inches by 18 inches. The corner radius guides produce a clean half inch radius curve on the inside corners, which gives boards that polished retail look buyers expect. For anyone selling cutting boards at markets, online, or to local shops, the consistency you get from a jig like this pays for itself fast. It also includes additional corner guides for offsetting the groove around handle openings, which opens up more design options without extra setup time.

Features

• Adjusts in both directions to rout a uniform juice groove on cutting boards up to 18 inches by 18 inches

• Rides against rails and corner guides to rout a groove centered 1 inch in from the edges

• Works with cutting boards from 3/4 inch to 1 1/4 inch thick (thicker boards require spacers under the jig, thinner boards require a spacer under the board)

• Guide bushing mounts to any plunge router baseplate with a 1 1/4 inch diameter center hole

• Clamping brackets mount to the outside of the rails so the jig can be clamped to the work surface or attached to a substrate with #8 screws

• Clamping brackets attach in two orientations, one for boards from 3/4 inch to 1 inch thick and another for boards from 1 inch to 1 1/4 inch thick

• Corner radius guides produce a curve at the corners with a 1/2 inch radius on the inside edge

• Includes three additional corner guides for offsetting a juice groove around handle openings made with a 1 1/4 inch diameter Forstner bit or the triangular or square section of the Rockler 4 in 1 Cutting Board Handle Routing Template (#68393, sold separately)

• Works with Rockler Rounded Shoulder Juice Groove Bits (sold separately), which work similarly to core box bits but also apply a nicely rounded edge to the groove

Who This Is Best For

This jig is best for cutting board makers, small woodworking business owners, charcuterie board sellers, and serious hobbyists who want repeatable professional results. It belongs in a woodworking shop, a cutting board production shop, a Maker market business setup, or any cabinet shop that does custom kitchen accessories. If juice grooves are part of your product lineup, this is the kind of jig that turns a tricky operation into a quick, repeatable step.
