Frame Mortise & Tenon Jig User Guide
Your New Leigh Frame Mortise & Tenon Jig (FMT Pro)
Congratulations for selecting the unique Leigh FMT Pro, the best
mortising and tenoning jig available. The FMT Pro will allow you
to rout a large range of sizes of mortise and tenon joints with total
control over joint fit.
To gain the most advantage from this unique tool, please read all of
this User Guide; carefully set up the jig following the simple set-up
directions, and thoroughly familiarize yourself with the basic functions
and principles of operation. Use scrap wood before attempting any
actual projects with valuable hardwood.

Important! Inches and Millimeters
The Leigh FMT Pro is available in two models; Inch or Metric. The
only difference is in the guides and bits used, otherwise the jig itself is
identical. Text and illustrations in this English language User Guide
indicate dimensions in both inches and millimeters, with “inches” first,
followed by “millimeters” in square brackets, i.e.
1
⁄2"x 2"[12x50mm].
Do not be concerned that the inch/millimeter equivalents are not
mathematically “correct”. Just use the dimensions that apply to your
guides and bits.
