route jig for thickness planing?

by "Bob" <rstanish@[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Jun 30, 2008 at 12:36 PM

Hi, I'm a bit of a newbie to this, but am starting a project that needs 1/2

inch stock and need to plane my 3/4 inch stock to thickness.  I'm not 
fortunate enough to have a thickness planer and I suck at planning long
wide 
boards to a constant even thickness.  I've been thinking about it and 
wondered if I could somehow create a jig for my router and a flat bottom 
bit.

I remember a while back reading an article about how someone releveled
their 
warped workbench using a similar jig, so am wondering if there are some 
shopbuilt jigs that could do this with smaller pieces.   Most of my stock
is 
7 inches wide so my guess is that it's possible to build something that
the 
router plate could run on and use the bit to take the stock down to a 
consistent thickness.  I could try to design one myself but am hoping 
someone out there as been there and done that.
