The world-renowned joinery system that tames your router for perfect, repeatable results.
The SystemWhat is WoodRat?
WoodRat is a precision 3-axis control system that mounts your plunge router, transforming it into a versatile joinery machine capable of cutting virtually any joint in wood.
From dovetails to mortise and tenon, finger joints to decorative inlays — the WoodRat delivers workshop-quality results with extraordinary repeatability. No CNC programming, no complex setup — just pure craftsmanship enhanced by intelligent engineering.
The WoodRat is Continuing.
The WoodRat business has recently been taken over and production is being restarted.
A small number of complete WoodRat systems are currently available.
I am compiling a list of spare parts required.
So existing stock can be sent out and new production organised where necessary.
If you own a WoodRat and need any parts or accessories, please let me know what you are looking for.

“It’s the most interesting thing I’ve come across in forty odd years of being a carpenter and joiner. So much fun finding out new ways to enjoy using a precision tool, without the complicated calculations of most machines that have nowhere near the versatility of my WoodRat.”
“Impressively precise... Offers exceptional cutter control”
“The results come out great - especially the very thin dovetails that look like handcuts. Lots of room for creativity. ”
“I’ve had my WoodRat set up now for about two weeks, the machine is simply amazing. The joinery process in our shop has been cut by half.”
