Cutting Board Gouge & Flattener
Jul 20, 2010
This jig is used in conjunction with a juice groove template to gouge out and flatten the middle of a cutting board to create a larger reservoir. It can also be used to flatten a cutting board or other stock with a router. The fences below are adjustable and bump up against the edge of the template to limit router’s travel. I used a 1″ straight bit lowering it about 1/32″ to 1/16″ per pass. The final pass is very light to eliminate any defects. The juice groove was cut with a 3/4″ rounded bit and a guide bushing. Again taking light passes. Both operations kick up a lot of fine dust so good protection and dust collection are essential.

This is cool! thanks for the post!!!
beautiful cutting board! great post, thanks!
What finish do you use? The finish looks very clear...salad bowl finish? Is that feet on the bottom? Your jig is great! I'm enjoying learning how to make end grain cutting boards....fun, rewarding and frustrating. If anyone has ever sanded end grain cutting boards, they will appreciate your jig!!!
