Customer Reviews
Fit and finish of this tool is great. The precision of the jig has elevated my work to a whole new level. Glad Black Forest is a North American distributor of the Paul Howard designs.
I like the design of the jig and the quality of everything except the aluminum base wasn't flat. I contacted Blackforest and explained about the base not being flat. They sent me a steel baseplate that was much heavier, which is good and it was flat. The jig works great I do recommend it. I used a Trend router which is 66 mm the clamping block is 65 mm so I had the sand it 1 mm larger. Not that much trouble with a 2" sanding drum in a drill press.
Thought long & hard before purchasing. I could have built somethign out of plywood that would be similar but today's plywood is never flat, not to mention the time involved. I am extremely happy with this jig; very well built. Very glad I bought it. I was doing flutes on a long tapered leg and this thing is the ticket (wish I had the option to share a photo). The service was great from Black Forest as well.
I really enjoy using this jig. I was not clear on how it went together at first. I watched a view videos and it turns out it is pretty simple. It seems well made. Works well. I am having fun with it. What would make this 5 stars for me? Better instructions. What was not clear to me was the wood bushing supplied with the system needs to be modified to do cool stuff. It would help if you had a 3D printer to print bushings. That is what I am going to do. To be fair, it would be quicker to just turn a bushing on the lathe. :)
The Paul Howard fluting jig simplifies perfect fluting on the lathe. The Makita 701is tge perfect router choice. There is no limit to creativity. Highly recommend this product and Black Forest.

Description
Description
Paul Howard's fluting jig.
Height-adjustable fluting jig for processing surfaces in long and cross timber. Due to the numerous setting options, the jig can be adapted to almost any workpiece. The jig can be used to make decorative millings, bores, and fluting in bowls, balusters, columns, table legs, boxes, spheres, and other turning work. The device is guided by hand over a plate fixed to the bench bed.
A router is not included with the device.
Routers with a clamping neck diameter of 65 mm and 43 mm can be mounted in the holder of the device. Drills, straight grinders, or similar tools with a clamping collar of 65 mm or 43 mm can also be attached to the milling device.
The jig is positioned with the clamped router in such a way that the guide bush touches the workpiece. In order to carry out the milling at the desired position, the apparatus is moved accordingly.
When using this device, wearing face and eye protection and suitable protective clothing is necessary. It is also important to ensure that no cables are pinched between the jig and the bench bed.
The jig is equipped with a spacer for limiting the depth of the cutter. The distance set by the spacer allows for consistent depth when working with the router.
There is also fine adjustment up and down possible by a threaded rise and fall lead screw.
