Rockler Juice Groove Router Jig for Cutting Boards Up to 18x18 in – Adjustable Groove Guide & Corner Radius

Overview

The Rockler Juice Groove Router Jig is designed to help woodworkers create clean, uniform juice grooves around cutting boards up to 18x18 inches. With adjustable rails and centered groove positioning, you can produce smooth channels on boards ranging from 3/4 inch to 1-1/4 inch thick, delivering a professional edge without guesswork.

Versatility is built in. Corner radius guides let you tailor grooves around handle openings in square, round, or triangular shapes, so your boards match your design. The jig is constructed from durable extruded PVC, offering a lightweight yet sturdy platform that supports precise routing while remaining easy to clean and store between projects.

Key benefits

• Centered, consistent grooves around the board edge for a refined look
• Compatibility with rounded-shoulder juice groove router bits in 3/8 inch and 1/2 inch widths for versatile edges

Design, setup, and operation

Set the rails to fit your board size, then clamp or screw the jig to your work surface.

The system is built to deliver repeatable results, even when routing multiple boards in a session.
