Mortice & Tenon Jigs
The Leigh FMT Pro is an outstanding product with superb build quality. No other jig or method can
match the ease, versatility and absolute precision of this jig. It brings the possibility of professional
quality mortice and tenon joints to any workshop and any woodworker. Mortice and tenon joints
routed on the FMT are immensely strong and virtually indestructible. This centuries-old joint is
the thoroughbred of all woodworking joints and is used in fine furniture and cabinetmaking
everywhere. Bench mounted, the FMT jig takes up little room in the workshop and is always readily
available for use with little setting up. Many makes of router can be fitted to the Leigh FMT jig
using the router’s side fence rod clamps. This system allows the router to be quickly fitted to or
removed from the jig, no need for a dedicated router.
N.B.The FMT is available in both imperial and metric versions and all optional guide sets are
compatible with the FMT and Super FMT models.

The Super FMT can produce exactly the same joints as the original version but at a fraction of the
cost. It is supported by all the same guides and accessories that are available for the FMT and it has
the same capability and capacity. The cost has been kept low by using steel instead of aluminium in
the manufacture of this model and F clamps. The accuracy and quality have not been compromised
on this very affordable jig and you will be impressed by the excellent range of joints it produces.
The optional vacuum box (211377) which when used with a suitable extractor, helps to keep
airborne dust to a minimum in the workshop.
Simplicity is the Key
The Leigh FMT and Super FMT use just one bit, one guide and one set-up for every standard joint.
It’s that easy. There are no bit or guide changes to fuss with and the set-up stays the same for both
parts of the joint. Joint fit is easily adjusted for perfect results every time. FMT guides and bits allow
you to create any size mortice and tenon from a tiny 1/16”. x 1/8”. to a massive 1/2”. x 5”.
