Review on ๐Ÿ”ถ Bora Router Dado Jig: Achieve Accurate Dados, Rabbets, and Mortises with the Ultimate Woodworking Router Guide, Model 542005 in Orange by Brett Islam

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I didn't realize the main feature until I watched YouTube

Adjusting the router base, which involves placing a small piece of plywood between the plastic jaws for the first cut and then removing it for the second cut, is not covered in the instructions supplied with the machine. You take out a piece of plywood, clench your jaw all the way, but be careful, the fence has small burrs on both sides, and you need to put the fence right in the middle, otherwise the width of the cut will be too small. After the second day of using the device I noticed that the part that clamps the Bora ruler was loose, attempts to adjust and hold it in place were unsuccessful. Attached is a photo showing the underside where the screw head has pressed into the soft plastic. I took a small washer and sanded two sides so the washer was elongated and protected the plastic from the screw. No more trouble.

Pros
  • Quality build
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.
