This procedure requires routing into alternating template
openings. To prevent routing the wrong sockets, insert the
supplied blockers into each even numbered opening across the
board width, plus one extra.
11-19 Now that your joint tightness has been determined,
re-clamp socket board 1 in the jig, move the frame pin to the
No.1 BOX JOINTS
hole and latch frame.

Test for Fit
Keep the same side board edges together. If
the joint is too loose, turn the eBush to a higher number, as shown
in the next step. If too tight, turn the eBush to a lower number.
11-17 Each increment on the eBush changes the joint glue line
fit by 0.002" [0.05mm]. Half an increment, a mere 1000th inch!
Re-tighten the eBush nut after each guide bushing adjustment.
