A Unique, Powerful Machine For Every Jointing Task

The WoodRat was developed to solve all the inherent problems of a dovetail jig. Now you can make superb, elegant, super-strong Dovetails bigger, smaller and with more variations than ever before. No dovetail jig comes close.

This incredible Machine will also create excellent Mortise and Tenons, Sliding Dovetails, Dowel Joints, Dado Joints, Lap Joints, Raised Panels, Halving Joints, Bridle Joints as well as fantastic miniature Finger Joints and more. It also performs all your router table tasks such as Decorative Profiles and Grooves.

Now routing is a pleasure and a real creative journey. Instead of a complicated array of jigs, you have one intuitive machine for every jointing task - simple or complex.

Absolute Control With Pin-Point Accuracy

The router can be moved back and forth and it can be stopped at any distance from the machine face. Wood, clamped onto the sliding bar, can be tracked left or right with pinpoint accuracy using the handle.

Cutting on the X and Y axis forms the basis of nearly all jointing operations. The Z axis is given by the plunge of the router which is mounted the right way up with all the controls easily visible and accessible. You even get a clear view of every cut.

No Templates

The WoodRat uses no templates. This means that you’re not asked to pay more money every time you need a different setting or a new joint. You decide how big the joints are and where they go. You are in complete control.

Easy To Use

Just clamp the wood in and cut. It's that simple. The manual guides you step by step through all the main jointing operations, getting you up to speed quickly and easily. There's lot you can learn, but it's not complicated. Ratting is "hands-on" great fun!

Safe

The router is tool that demands respect. One slip can ruin your work or even cause serious injury. Bolted in the 'Rat is one of the safest place's it can be used. It is safely housed until brought forward for a cut. Your hands stay well away from the bit, making it ideal for the beginner.

Saves Money

The WoodRat is not a cheap tool, it's a professional quality Machine made in Great Britain. However, buy a WoodRat and you wont need a Dovetail Jig, M&T Jig or Router Table. A dramatic saving overall.

Built Tough

The basis for the WoodRat is a rock-solid, precision engineered aluminum chassis. Other parts are robust synthetic laminate and glass-reinforced nylon. It's ultra-reliable and ready for the rigors of daily use in a commercial workshop. And it looks great too.

I bought it as a dovetailing machine, but I now use it for so many joints I could not begin to write them all down.
