I love routers and this elliptical router jig makes me love them even more. I’ve made countless circles with router jigs over the years, but this simple jig for creating a multitude of oval shapes is slick. Ovals are tough because it’s a mathematical equation to get the shape correct. While I love routers, I’m not so fond of math. By creating an elliptical jig you take the math out of the process and create smooth, evenly-shaped ovals in a snap. Make large ovals for table tops, or smaller ovals for cutting boards and much more. Watch the video below to see it in action.
