TREND Routabout Jig 18mm x 1/2" Shank | RBT/2

Trend RBT/2 Routabout Jig for 18mm Chipboard Floors (1/2" Shank)

The Trend RBT/2 Routabout jig is a floor access jig designed to let builders, plumbers and electricians cut a neat, removable access opening in 18mm chipboard floors for quick access to pipes and cables. Used with a plunge router, it cuts only the thickness of the board so the section can be refitted to make good the floor.

With a 250mm diameter access hole, the RBT/2 is suited to maintenance and installation work in both new and existing chipboard (or similar) floors where you want a tidy, repeatable cut and a strong finish once reinstated.

Key Features

• Fast floor access: Creates a removable opening to reach pipes and cables beneath chipboard flooring.
• 250mm access hole: Cuts a generous opening to improve working room for inspection and repairs.
• Controlled depth cut: Designed to cut only the thickness of the board for a clean lift-out section.
• Make-good finish: Minimises waste by allowing the cut-out piece to be refitted after work is complete.
• For 18mm floors: Intended for new or existing 18mm chipboard or similar floor materials.
• 1/2" shank compatibility: Designed for use with a 1/2" shank router cutter setup.
