Yeah, you can totally use the Bench Dog 518609 Bench Cookie® Plus Master Kit for both routing and jigsawing. It's pretty versatile. The manufacturer's description mentions it comes with 8 Bench Cookie® Plus Work Grippers, risers in different heights, and finishing cones—all aimed at gripping and protecting your workpieces really well.

The risers are especially handy because they lift your workpiece just enough to give you the clearance you need for router bits and jigsaw blades. This way, you can work on things without worrying about wrecking your workbench.

From what we found, folks generally love how effective and practical it is. Many say it's easy to use and does a great job holding pieces firmly in place, which is perfect for when you're routing or jigsawing. The finishing cones seem to be a favorite too, particularly for those into painting and finishing work.

One small heads-up, though: Some have reported missing parts, like a pad here or there. It's not super common, but something to be aware of if you're thinking of buying it.

Overall, with a score of 4.7 out of 5 stars from about 560 reviews, most people seem really happy with it.

So if you're on the hunt for a tool to help with routing and jigsawing, this kit could be a solid choice.
