Trend Kitchen Worktop Router Jig for Precise Joints in Laminate, 700mm

I'm halfway through the fitting of my new kitchen and this has made the job a lot easier. As well as cutting the joints I've used it to cut out the sink hole. It is easy to use with the marked peg holes. Very well made solid tool. This is my first time using a router and template so I appreciated the guide but also the online videos from Trend. I recommend you watch so as to learn what all the peg holes are for. You will need a 30mm guide for your router but I've been working with a very old 1/4 inch budget model and it has been fine. Lots of small cuts and not trying to bite off too much at a time.

This is a must have jig if you're installing your own kitchen and want to have a seamless join between stretches of work-surface. There are cheaper jigs on the market but I decided on the Trend one because it is a name I trust in the Router tools market, and unlike some others this is a strong, durable jig that doesn't flex when in use. Bear in mind that to use a work-top jig it's recommended that you also use a beefy router with a 1/2inch collet - in my case a 2Kw Freud which weighs a fair bit. This Trend jig was absolutely solid. The other bonus is that the instructions that come with it are clear and extensive. Of course its very easy to mess up when using these things, and the last thing you want to do is ruin an expensive worktop, so having good clear instructions is a bonus. Take your time and make sure the router bit is sharp (I hear the pro's buy a new one for each job) and you should get great results. Highly recommended.

Good but if kit as a kitchen fitter I’ve used loads of jigs but the trend jigs are the best on the market a a little more money but I wouldn’t use a different one now.Really sturdy and strong and you get pegs with this one two what’s a bonus because you can pay up to £10 just for pegs. So I would recommend this to any other fitters out there

Some reviews have noted that the locator pegs are loose, well mine are all nice and tight. But some of the countersinks on the peg holes are too shallow causing the pegs to stand proud of the jig and foul the router base plate, had to be cut a little deeper. Otherwise a good jig.

Not used it yet but if I produce a poor joint with it I'm sure it'll down to me and not the tool! It's shorter than the Silverline one I had but much heavier and a better quality material too. It's expensive for a DIY'er who'll use it just a few times but it's cheaper than screwing up a work surface by using an inferior product. I good investment in my opinion.

Brilliant product

I bought a cheap jig to start with but could never seem to get the mitre right, and seemed to take ages having to re-cut, so I decided to spend a bit more and bought this, and so pleased with it, my mitres now are perfect and easier to do than it was before. Thanks

I looking worktop jig for long time for different brand reviews because trend is expensive for me to use few times but when I see they have offers straight away I purchased this because I know Trend companies brand and quality of build, I'm soo happy with this purchase

Diese Schablone ist absolut Profitabilität sehr schwer vom Material her, dass muss auch so sein damit Sie eine sehr gute Auflagefläche hat beim fräsen.Ich kann das Teil nur jedem empfehlen der mit Küchenbau zutun hat.

Parfait pour de belles découpe

Buen material, muy bien acabado, lo que permite juntas impecables.Por poner un pero: las instrucciones de uso no vienen en español, menos mal que con los gráficos y un traductor para alguna duda, te apañas.

The pins are a weak plastic and some are loose while other are tight in the holes. Tight is better. Will make my own. Otherwise great fot making kitchen countertops

Whether cutting laminate or solid surface counter tops, and finished plywood this jig does it with ease and is precise.
