angled pin guides,
without losing guide bushing contact with
the surface of the angled template fingers.
8-22 Adjust the bit so the tip of the bit is in the center of the pencil
line.
Double check that the bit still rotates freely.
IMPORTANT:
Bit height determines the flushness of the joint, so set your
bit properly the first time.
Adjustments for flushness are near the
