BEFORE BEGINNING

Identify and verify that you have all the parts listed. Read the
instructions at least once, familiarizing yourself with the parts before
beginning. You'll need a #3 Phillips screwdriver for assembly.
The majority of the parts have the hardware pre-attached and
just need to be attached to the Ultra Track. You may need to loosen
the hardware to install the parts, or reattach the hardware if it came
loose during shipping. Replacement Sub-Fences (4556F) are available
from Woodhaven, or you can make your own out of 3/4" material.
The Portable Box Joint Jig is designed to be used on work
that is clamped in a stationary position. It's perfect for work that
is too heavy or cumbersome to pass over a stationary cutter on a
table saw or router table. The jig will cut box joints 1/2" to 1-9/16"
wide a minimum of 1/2" deep in stock a maximum of 2" thick.
For cutting, you'll need a 1/2" collet router, a 3/4" diameter
bushing and a 1/2" diameter bit. Spiral upcut bits are excellent
for cutting solid woods. Select a bit with the shortest possible
cut length. You'll also need a 6" bar clamp (for the first and last
cuts on the work) and a workbench/vise to hold the work.

These parts get installed in the T-slots on the face of the 12"
Ultra Track (4412). The Sub-Fence (4556F) is a two piece set.
Both pieces are rectangular in shape with one of the pieces having
a rectangular cutout. With the bottom edge of the 12" Ultra Track
(4412) resting on a flat surface, install the rectangular Sub-Fence
(without the cutout) on the Track with the oval nuts in the upper and
lower T-slots of the track. Position the end of the Sub-Fence even
with the right end of the track and loosely tighten the screws. This
Sub-Fence can be rotated 180º so the opposite end can be used.
