A great saw blade is the easiest Father's Day gift to recommend for a woodworker. (We've made that case in our Ultimate Father's Day Saw Blade Gift Guide for Woodworkers (2026), and we'll keep making it.) But what about the dad who already has the blade? Or the woodworker whose shop sings around the router, or the one whose specialty is hand-cut dovetails, or the dad who really just needs a quieter dust collector?
This is the gift guide for everything else. Fifteen Father's Day picks from Infinity Tools, organized by category, with something thoughtful at every budget. You'll find router bits, joinery jigs, marking tools, sharpening setups, dust collection, safety gear, and a couple of small upgrades that look modest but transform a workshop.
Router Bits & Router Tables (Gifts 1–4)
The router is the second-most-loved tool in most woodshops. Premium router bits — and the accessories that make them sing — are some of the most satisfying gifts you can give, because the dad receiving them feels the upgrade immediately.
1. A Premium Router Bit Set He Doesn't Have Yet
Most woodworkers own one or two router bit sets and a graveyard of single bits from one-off projects. A purpose-built set in a category he hasn't filled is a gift that opens up new work. Browse the General Purpose Router Bit Sets collection for foundational kits, or zero in on a specialty:
- Joinery router bits for the dad expanding into furniture-grade joinery.
- Edge Forming bits for the dad who builds tables, mantels, and trim.
- Flush Trim bits for the dad who templates everything.
- Solid Carbide Spiral bits for the dad with a CNC.
2. The Lapped Miter Joint Router Bit Set
The Lapped Miter Joint Router Bit Set with 3/4″ Setup Block is one of the most-requested router bit sets in our catalog. It produces a strong, near-invisible mitered joint that holds itself together during glue-up — the gift that makes box-building dramatically easier.
3. The Infinity Router Bit Vise
The Infinity Router Bit Vise is a Father's Day perennial — small, smart, and instantly useful. It holds router bits securely so they can be safely cleaned, inspected, or stored. The kind of "I didn't know I needed this" gift that becomes a permanent fixture on a router table.
4. JessEm Clear-Cut Router Table Stock Guides
If Dad uses a router table seriously, the JessEm Clear-Cut Stock Guides are the gift that changes how he routes. They hold stock tight to the fence with one-way feed rollers, eliminate kickback risk, and produce cleaner, more consistent cuts. A safety upgrade and a quality upgrade in the same package.

Joinery Jigs & Systems (Gifts 5–7)
A jig is one of those gifts that quietly expands a woodworker's capability. The dad who's been hand-cutting joinery on every project may be one jig away from building three times as much furniture.
5. A Kreg Pocket Hole System
The Kreg Tool Pocket Hole Joinery Systems collection is the easiest way to get a beginner-to-intermediate woodworker building real furniture fast. For an experienced dad, it's the jig he reaches for when he wants to finish a project this weekend.
6. A Dovetail Jig
The Dovetail Joinery collection covers everything from hand-cut layout tools to full router-driven dovetail jigs. A dovetail jig is a "next level" gift — the kind that turns a dad who builds plywood boxes into a dad who builds furniture worth selling.
7. An Infinity Shelf Pin Jig
The Infinity Tools Shelf Pin Jig is the unsung hero of cabinetmaking. Fast, repeatable shelf-pin holes turn a five-hour cabinet build into a two-hour cabinet build. Browse the Cabinetry & Joinery collection for more cabinet-focused gifts.
Hand Tools, Marking & Measuring (Gifts 8–10)
If Dad does precision work, he lives in the marking-and-measuring drawer. Upgrading those tools punches above its dollar value, because they're tools he uses on every single project.
8. A Premium Marking Gauge
Infinity's own marking & mortise gauge is a perpetual best-seller because it's the kind of layout tool that immediately becomes essential. Browse the full Marking & Layout collection for more.
9. A 2″ Pocket Saddle Square
The 2″ Pocket Saddle Square is a small, smart, $30 gift that lives in an apron pocket and gets used a hundred times a project. The kind of gift the recipient mentions every time someone visits the shop.
10. A Chisel or Hand Plane Upgrade
A premium chisel set from the Chisels collection, a specialty hand plane from the Hand Planes & Spokeshaves collection, or a specialty hand saw — all are heirloom-quality gifts that get sharpened and used for decades. See more options in our Saw Blades Worth Passing Down grandfather-focused guide.
Sharpening (Gift 11)
11. A Sharpening Setup He'll Actually Use
A great chisel is only as sharp as the woodworker keeping it sharp. A complete sharpening setup — a diamond water stone set, a waterstone, a honing guide, or a power sharpening system — is the gift that makes every other hand tool in his shop work better.
The full Sharpening collection has options at every level.
Dust Collection & Shop Safety (Gifts 12–14)
This is the category most woodworking dads under-invest in. It's also where the best Father's Day "upgrade" gifts hide.
12. The Infinity Quick-Snap Small Tools Dust Collection Kit
The Quick-Snap Small Tools Dust Collection Kit with Flex Adaptors and 16′ Hose is the gift that says "I want your lungs to last." It connects fast to sanders, routers, and other small tools, and the flex adaptors fit almost everything. Browse the Dust Collection collection for fuller setups.
13. A GRR-Ripper Push Block
The Micro Jig GRR-Ripper is one of the most-recommended single safety upgrades in modern woodworking. It controls stock during narrow rips, dado cuts, and small-piece work — the cuts where kickback most often happens. Browse the full Woodshop Safety collection for more.
14. Magswitch Magnetic Featherboards
Magswitch's magnetic featherboards attach instantly to any ferrous table saw or router table top, keep stock tight to the fence, and remove just as fast. The Infinity blog on Magswitch featherboards makes a good case for why these are a real cut-quality upgrade, not just a safety one.
Gift Card (Gift 15)
15. An Infinity Gift Card
Sometimes the best gift is the one that lets him pick. The Infinity Tools gift card ships instantly by email in denominations from $10 to $250, never expires, and works across the entire catalog. Pair it with a printed copy of the Ultimate Father's Day Saw Blade Gift Guide for a curated "here's where to start" gift.
