VARIABLE FINGER TEMPLATE
(55261 or 77241)
CUTTING THE FIRST BOARD (B1)
1.
Mount horizontal scrap boards (F) Fig. I6 and
template (G). Be sure the "B PINS" label (H) is
to the left as you face the jig.
2.
Vertically mount the first board to be cut (B1)
Fig. I6 with the "outside surface" facing the jig.
The board should be flush with the left edge
guide (I) and tight against the underside of the
template (G).
3.
To reduce tearout, be sure the horizontal scrap
(F) is pulled forward flush with the back of first
board B1.
NOTE FOR DIFFERENT WOOD THICKNESSES:
*
If the first board (B1) is less than or equal to
3/4" thick, the spacers (one shown at (J) Fig. I7)
should be on the back of the stop as shown and
the cut can be made in one pass.
*
For wood thickness greater than 3/4", the cut
needs to be made in two passes. The spacers
(one shown at (K), Fig. I7) need to be located on
the front of the stops for the first pass and on the
back of the stops for the second pass. In each
instance, be sure to re-position the template
firmly against the stops and that the spacers are
fully tightened on the stop threads.
*
When cutting the second board (B2) with
thickness greater than 3/4" this process does
not apply and the board can be cut in a single
setup.
4.
Space the template's fingers in the desired
configuration. Refer to Fig. I8 for an example,
though even spacing of the fingers is not
required.
NOTE: For wood greater than 3/4" thick, it is
recomended the finger sets do not touch. The
gap (L) Fig. I8 between each finger set should be
at least 1/4". This gap assists you in making a
second cut without accidentally gouging the path
made by the first cut.
5.
Use router bit S3 with template guide G1.
