Anyone know what this woodworking tool/jig is?
Greetings all,
Any woodworkers out there know what this thing is for? I know I have seen it before in a lee valley catalog oe somewhere. I was just given a batch of tools and this was in the pile.
I was thinking it was some router or squaring thing. May not be complete.
Hope the picture attaches, if not I will try to fix.

I'm not sure and don't want to guess. It this item mounted to the board it's sitting on?
If no one knows put the pic on google goggles and and google will tell you.

Not mounted on the board, just resting on the floor.
I have not used that Google feature, will check out if no-one knows.

Check out the underside, looks like it may register in corners or against a panel edge, but only adjustable one way.

To me it looks like a base to suspend a router over a work piece. The router sits on the two rails and the legs are adjustable to level everything.

I was doing some google searching and I think that it is a guide for a router.

Router guide is the most common sense response I've gotten elsewhere.

Jig
Think it’s a jig for sign making. Letters get clamped in, then clamped to work piece and then the letters are routed out

I just checked and the rails are spaced the same as the holes on a craftsman router that came in the pile.

May be, letters may have gotten lost at some point.

Its a planing jig for a router. Ive been looking for something like that but only on a larger scale for a table I am making.

My first thought was a planing type jig for a router but I've never seen one like that

That makes total sense, those feet could then ride on a rail on either side of the board.
Thanks!

I would guess most likely a router guide. I will offer up one other suggestion however. It may be a simple work holding fixture that is missing some pieces.

Is the center hole tapped for a screw?

Could be a scarf jig. You set the angle say 4/12 or 6/12
