I'm curious whats a worktop jig? I've looked at the pic and still none the wiser. I think I'm going to google it now.

You use it as I jig for a router so that you can cut the mitre to join 2 worktops together at 90 degrees (at the corner of a room)

It's so you can do interlocked cuts, thus leaving a clean join.

It's a good price but the silverline one is better as it has the bolt pre aligned too

I've got one like this and I couldn't figure out why the upper and lower lines aren't parallel and the bends at each end are different angles.?
I bought another one that has the same angles at each end but Instead of flipping it and using the bolts I ended up just measuring where the male cut should be and clamping it in place, luckily it worked but I felt like I was bodging the job.
I would pay someone just to show me how it's done tbh

I don't know about this one, if it's good or not. But when you do your cuts make sure your depth stop is really tight when you do the dog bone cuts - I guess everyone might guess why I might be mentioning this :smiley: Oh and if you think it's a good idea to use polyurethane foam insulation sheeting as a cutting base make sure it's fire retardant - I'm sure you can also guess why I might be saying this :wink: though fortunately nobody was hurt and no property was damaged in that incident...
This is one of the videos I watched and I think he must have a different jig because the top and bottom (m & f) line of the curve (dog leg) weren't the same and the worktops didn't butt together so I bought the second one with the opposite leg.
The one in this deal has an opposite leg and it could be my eyes but the angles of the male & female looks different..

Great, thanks for this, managed to pick one up. I found a 'user guide', looks the same, just the old B&Q P range, I think...
