THE FOUR SCALE MODES

The Finger Assembly attaches to the support

brackets in four different modes to match the

type of joint you are cutting.

This line is for the finger assembly

scales. The line is illustrated in red

for clarity in this user guide, but is

black on the jig.

Note: Inch scales are shown here.

Millimeter scales have similar

layouts.

The inactive scale is always on

the rear of each scale assembly

and is upside-down.

The active scale is always on the

front of each scale assembly.

Scales are color coded.

• Green: Half-Blind Dovetails.

• Silver: Through Dovetails.

Each scale has its own mode icon

(a drawing of the joint part made

in that mode).

Reading scales

from directly

above helps

sight the lines

accurately.

The specific settings for each scale

are fully described in the appropri-

ate chapters.
