Cutting 90 degree worktop joints continued...
Cutting the male section:
First turn and check that the worktop is the correct way up.
When cutting the male edge, leave the sliding width stop or stop H in position and fit two stops in the
holes B. Position and clamp the jig across the end of the worktop, ensuring that it is square to the front
edge and that the stops are tight against the end. Support the waste end of the worktop to the jig using
a clamp or by supporting it on a sacrificial work-surface below (to prevent it dropping and tearing the
laminate at the end of the pass). Cut the joint face following the same routing procedure as for the
female cut.
Compensating for out of square walls:
Slight variations can be accommodated with worktop jigs, but only up to approximately 3 degrees
either way. However these joints will never be as precise as a true 90-degree worktop joint. The angle
is always cut on the male section of worktop.
Where possible place the worktops in position with the male section over the female. If space does
not allow this, use a gauge or other method to take off the angle and transfer it to the worktop.
Remember which end you are cutting and turn them face up or down as necessary. Mark the inner
edge of the female section on the underside of the male section. This line will be the cut line for the
angled male section. Turn the male section over and mark the angled line clearly. From this line draw
a line parallel to it and 9mm from it (to allow for the guide bush margin).
See Diagram A: Fit the two stops into holes B on the jig and, with the sliding stop loose, position the
jig over the worktop with the two stops against the front edge so that it is square. Check that the stops
are tight against the front edge and clamp the jig to the worktop. Draw a line 9mm parallel to the edge
of the jig. Position the edge of the square sliding stop against the end of this line and tighten the clam-
ping screw.
See Diagram B: Unclamp and remove the two front stops. Lay the jig on the cut line with the point of
the sliding stop on the rear end of the angled cut line. Pivot the jig around this point until the guide edge
is parallel to the angled cut line, but 9mm away from it. Clamp the jig securely to the worktop and cut
the male joint following the routing procedure as before.
