- Place X workpiece into front clamp bar. Tighten front clamp knobs.
- Place Y workpiece into top clamp bar.
- Push Y workpiece tightly against the edge guide and workpiece X. Tighten top
clamp knobs.
- Retighten X workpiece, so that the top of front X workpiece is flush with the top of
workpiece Y and snugly against edge guide.
- Tighten front clamp knobs .
until 2014
- Adjust template position to align the setting line with the edge of the workpiece
under the top clamp.
until 2015
- On the workpiece Y, draw a line at a distance of 11,55 mm from the edge of this
workpiece Y (see figure). Adjust the template position to align this line with the
tops of the dovetail grooves.
- One rotation of template adjustment nut stop equals 1 mm.
workpiece Y
- Tighten template assembly knobs.
- Attach the template guide to the router base.
- Install the dovetail bit in the router.
S
- Adjust the cutting depth of the dovetail bit according to table.
Note
: Recommended bit depths are approximate only, always make test cuts in scrap stock to determine the
exact depth for your application!
Routing
- Place the router on the template ensuring that the router bit does not touch the workpiece.
- Switch on. Make one very light cut from left to right cutting only the front edge. This prevents the breakout.
- Rout carefully from left to right following the fingers of the template with the template guide.
- Switch off the router and carefully remove from jig.
- Check that all slots are routed clean. If not, rout again.
- Remove the workpiece from the jig.
- Test joint.
ATTENTION !
Do not lift the router from the template as damage to the template and router bit will occur.
If the joint is not perfect :
Joint too loose= increase cutting depth of router bit.
Joint too tight= decrease cutting depth of router bit.
Joint too shallow= move template towards the jig body.
Joint too deep= move template away from the jig body.
