  • This software and its output is not an INCRA product. The authors have no connection with INCRA (or Taylor Design Group, Inc.), aside from being users themselves of their products.
  • Woodworking can be dangerous, and in particular, using a router or other tools to cut joints is dangerous. You can loose your eyesight, fingers, and suffer other serious, even fatal, injuries.
  • The authors of pyRouterJig are not responsible for any injury, death, or financial loss that could conceivably be caused by using pyRouterJig.
  • As a user of pyRouterJig, only you are responsible for using the output of pyRouterJig safely and responsibly.
  • The templates and patterns for joints that pyRouterJig generate are simply suggestions for joints. There is no implication that the joints can be safely cut with your tools (even if you have a Festool router).
  • You are solely responsible for operating your tools in a safe manner. If you feel pyRouterJig could conceivably encourage you to operate your tools in an unsafe manner, don't use pyRouterJig.
  • pyRouterJig does no stress or strength analysis of the joints it generates (although we would happily accept code changes that would do such analysis).
  • There is no implication of any particular joint's strength. The joint may fail, even if you glue it up properly. pyRouterJig is not responsible for joint failures.
  • There is no guarantee that pyRouterJig is accurate, or even generates a feasible joint. Errors in pyRouterJig might result a joint pattern that does not fit and destroy your otherwise perfect woodworking project.
  • In summary, if you believe, or you believe that your survivors might believe, that it is even remotely possible that pyRouterJig could cause you and your family serious bodily injury or death, break your tools, or ruin your woodworking project, do not use pyRouterJig.
