This shop made jig works in conjunction with your router and its edge guide. It has a fixed stop on one end and an adjustable stop on the other end to limit the length of the mortise. The guide helps to support the router and keep it square. The tabs on top of both long pieces of the jig make it very easy to align it flush with the workpiece. You can use this on any length workpiece, short or long.

You don't need a plunge router with spiral bit, you can just use a regular router and regular bit, but first drill a hole that is the size of the router bit on one end of the mortise. Then your bit can drop into the hole to cut the mortise.
