Page 7: Edge Jointing
EDGE JOINTING Edge jointing is the process of creating a straight, true and square edge on a board in order that two or more boards can be joined together. A jointed edge will not make the sides of a board parallel. To do that, joint one edge of the board then using that edge as a reference (against the saw fence) rip saw the board to get a parallel edge.
Page 8: Shaping Operations
If using the router with a straight cutter, use the cope cutting guide (see Jointech Woodworker's Notebook, SECT. III) to support the rails. Use a piece of scrap cut from the pieces with the mortise cut.
Page 9: Raised Panels
When making panels on the table saw a vertical fixture such as a tenoning jig can be purchased or made (see VERTICAL MITER FIXTURE, Jointech Woodworker's Notebook, SECT III). Stock preparation for all the panels is the same. There are three basic shapes for the raised panels, STRAIGHT , ROMAN OGEE and COVE .
Page 10 Use a push device that will keep the panel upright and square to the table surface (see VERTICAL PANEL PUSHER, Jointech Woodworker's Notebook, SECT III). Zero the fence to the outside of the maximum diameter of the cutter. With a...
Page 11: Making The Perfect Joint
MAKING THE PERFECT JOINT Getting Started Set up your CLINCHER and fence or CabinetMaker's System as described Use high quality router bits for your joinery. The better bits will normally be earlier. All of the instructions for making joints with the CLINCHER use the made to tighter tolerances and will cut cleaner.
Page 12: Selecting The Right Template For Your Project
JOINT MAKING OPERATIONS Centering for Perfect Symmetry ...using the Rabbit It is always desirable to have a dovetail or box joint pattern centered to your alignment. As a general rule, when diamonds are only on one edge of a workpiece so that the outside pins are of equal size. By finding the exact template (variably spaced patterns only), all lines on its opposite edge can center of your workpiece, a symmetrical joint will be assured when the also be used for centering alignment.
Page 13: Determine Pin And Tail Cuts
JOINT MAKING OPERATIONS Determine Pin and Tail Cuts SELECTION OF YOUR WORKPIECES The type of your project involving joinery will usually determine which two sides should be the pins and which two sides should be the tails. Normally, the front and back workpieces in a frame or box will be pins.
Page 14: Box Joints
JOINT MAKING OPERATIONS BOX JOINTS The two most important factors in making good box joints is the diameter of the router bit and the spacing of the cuts. The CLINCHER will provide the accuracy and templates the correct spacing. All box joint cuts are end grain cuts and require the use of the Vertical Push Fixture (VPF-1).
Page 15: Half-Blind Dovetails
JOINT MAKING OPERATIONS HALF BLIND DOVETAILS Begin by selecting the template and corresponding bit for your joinery project. If your template selection is a variably spaced pattern, you will also need the equally spaced template for the same bit diameter to use in setting the depth of cut.
Page 16 JOINT MAKING OPERATIONS QUICK REVIEW 5. Making the Pins Half Blind Dovetails Pins are cut by passing the board over the router bit with the board in a horizontal position. Use a rubber-soled push block to keep the board firmly down against the table top and in against the fence. Use the X-Y Stop Block to limit the length of the cut.
Page 17: Through Dovetails
Today, through dovetail joints serve primarily as a design element. Several router templates and jigs on today’s market will make through dovetails, but these cost upwards of $200. With Jointech’s special, Through-Dovetail Templates, you can now make these beautiful, professional looking joints on your own...
Page 18 (3) After completing all the tail cuts rotate the thumbwheel back to the Zero position. 7 . Making the Pins Pins are normally made by passing the workpiece horizontally into the bit. The Jointech Through Dovetail employs both a horizontal (sliding) cut and a vertical cut to make the pin.
Page 19: Double Dovetails
JOINT MAKING OPERATIONS DOUBLE DOVETAILS Templates for Double Dovetails, Half-Blind, Through and Sliding, have four series of cuts. The full length RED and full-length dashed BLACK lines are DOUBLE DOVETAILS for the pin and tail workpieces. For the middle, or center section, the short Template Plan RED lines are for the side of the piece that will mate with the workpiece...
Page 20 JOINT MAKING OPERATIONS QUICK REVIEW 7 . Making The Pins Double Dovetails Perform the pin cuts from the assigned template cut lines determined in Step 1 above. HALF-BLIND DOUBLE-DOVETAILS Complete the pin workpiece in the same manner as for a conventional Half-Blind dovetail.
Page 21: Double-Double Box Joints
JOINT MAKING OPERATIONS DOUBLE-DOUBLE BOX JOINTS As in making conventional box joints, the diameter of the router bit used is the most important factor in making good box joints. Before attempting a double-double joint, you should get some practice making the conventional box joint.
Page 22 JOINT MAKING OPERATIONS QUICK REVIEW 6. The Middle Sections Double-Double Box Joints The method for making middle sections for both pin and tail boards are the same. And, as with the double dovetail, either vertical or sliding methods for cutting these pieces may be Tail Board selected.
Page 23: Boxtail Joints
JOINT MAKING OPERATIONS BOXTAIL JOINTS The Boxtail Joint is one of the more exotic appearing joints. Rather than dovetails only on one side as with the Half Blind or Through Dovetail, the Boxtail has dovetails appearing on both sides of its joint. To make this joint the material thickness must be the same as the depth of cut.
Page 24 JOINT MAKING OPERATIONS QUICK REVIEW 6. The Middle Sections Boxtail Joints (Vertical Method) The method for making middle sections for both pin and tail boards are the same. And, as in the double dovetail, either vertical or sliding methods for cutting these pieces may be selected.
Page 25: The Miter Spline Joint
Once the box is constructed you will need a device that will position your box to make the spline socket. The cut must be made exactly perpendicular to the miter joint. You can use the Jointech Spline Jig (Product No. SJ-1) or construct your own by following plans also found in the Woodworker’s Notebook.
