Trend Pro Multi-Material Worktop Jig for Seamless Joints in Kitchen Worktops, Up to 750mm, KWJ750P

Excellent tool

Read the reviews and seen a few comments on the cam spaces not being very good, it seems they have updated the design and changed the plastic cams for plastic dowel pins and steel spacers, they seem a perfect fit so no complaints from me, all in it’s a very well made jig which feels quality. Time will tell how it performs.

Purchased and tried first jig the joints were terrible and had to manually realign and re-cut the joints to get a good result. The holes for the pegs aren’t machined accurately they’re too tight and the counterbores are not concentric meaning the heads of the pins aren’t flush. This alone makes the jig unusable, as the router cannot pass clearly over the jig. The male side of the joint doesn’t match the female side - the short 45 degree section of the cut isn’t long enough and the radiuses aren’t matched. The female side was easily 2mm out of parallel with the worktops edge when cut. I returned and asked for another assuming the mighty Trend had just sent out a bad one that sneaked through QC however the second jig received was actually worse. The pins wobbled in there holes and the same issue with counter bores not being concentric. Same issue with the joint not matching. I received what I think must be an ‘updated’ version which has steel pegs which cross drilled holes that slide over standard plastic pins to space off the jig for different depths of joint. The videos online show plastic fishtail shaped spacers so at somepoint the design has changed. 25 years fitting kitchens this was my first Trend jig - it’ll be my last. Quality was shockingly bad I’m so disappointed I expected perfection.

As another review said, mine was delivered with a scratched site window. The metal location pins are lose in the box and are free to move around in transit. The scratched window on my is still readable, but for a jig that costs over a £100, you would have thought they'd put the pins in a jiffy bag.

Fantastic all in one product. If your Cutting different materials from acrylics to full bullnose laminates this jig is perfect. 3,5,10,24mm mason miters in one jig with an open window for easy alignment.

Great jig with loads of features the different depths of hockey sticks is amazing with different worktops makes the jobs turn out perfect

Great jig

Having always used a trend jig I decided to upgrade to this particular jig as I like how you can use it for multiple different worktops. Unfortunately when it arrived I was soon disapointed due to the fact you cannot remove the pin from the cam once inserted, it is dam tight. Infact they were that tight on the one cam i could not even get the pin into the cam. So I started a return yesterday 09/08/2023 and requested for a replacement to be sent which arrived today. Sadly same issue. This is not the quality I expect from Trend so i would presume they are a faulty batch the batch number is 15, I shall be contacting Trend tomorrow. Its a good job i still have my old jig.
