For the folks who are a challenge to gift, we’ve included a couple of ideas that should appeal to most everyone.
Father’s Day Gifts for Any Budget
#1 Fathers and Grandfathers will enjoy keeping track of the children in their family with a growth chart that is easy to build using the WoodRiver® Growth Chart Router Jig (a modular template) and your plunge router (3/8" router bushing and 1/4" router bit sold separately).
Machined from .30-thick acrylic, the jig is designed for use with a 7-1/4"-wide board. Calibrations are in 1-inch increments. Jig includes master template, 6 number inserts and edge locating pins.
Make the chart as a Father’s Day Gift or give the jig to Dads who enjoy building projects. If you or the giftee needs a router, check out the recommendation below, another gift idea.

Super Light.
Three Grits to Keep Edges Sharp.
#3 Light However You Need It – The NEBO Torchy 2K is MagDock USB rechargeable, water-resistant (IPX6) and equipped with 5 light modes – 35-500 lumens for 30 to 3.5 hours/up to 90 meters – which are seamlessly transitioned through Smart Power Control. The 2,000 lumen Turbo Mode gives short, temporary bursts of power. Features detachable two-way clip and hands-free lighting. Comes with MagDock USB charging cable, lithium-ion rechargeable battery and manual.
#4 Sharpening On Demand – The 3-Piece DMT Dia-Sharp Offset Mini-Hone Set allows you to sharpen, deburr, and hone in tight spaces such as circular saw blades or router bits, while keeping hands away from the sharp cutting edges. The uninterrupted monocrystalline diamond surface lets you quickly put a razor edge on pocketknives and small contact area tools.
Coarse grit (45 micron/325 mesh) quickly restores a damaged edge. Fine grit (25 micron/600 mesh) puts a keen edge on a regularly maintained edge. Extra-fine grit (9 micron/1200 mesh) polishes and refines a razor edge. 3-piece set contains one of each grit.
