Cutting 90 degree worktop joints continued...
Using the sliding stop:
To position the sliding stop, fit it to the underside of the jig with the clamping screw, secured by the
clamping knob and washer, through the respective groove. Fit two stops in holes B, hold these tight to
the front face of he worktop, checking that the jig is square to it.
Adjust the sliding stop up to the rear edge and tighten the clamp.
Cutting the female edge:
Position the stops in holes C on the jig (See Page 7). There is one stop that sits against the end of the
worktop and two along the front face. The front stops are set in two of the four holes, the width of the
worktop determining the distance apart. Ensure that all stops are tight against the worktop edges befo-
re clamping the jig to the worktop. Ensure that the clamps do not infringe the path of the router.
Cutting:
Make the cut in a series of shallow passes, the finer the cut the less effort being placed on the cutter
and the easier it will be to control the router. Keep the feed speed constant and ensure that the rou-
ter remains level on the face of the jig. Always work from left to right, keeping the guide bush against
the edge. To finish, press the guide bush a little harder against the cut edge of the worktop and make
a final fine pass across the full edge depth.
