12-5 Another example of asymmetry is the top corners of a slant-
front desk. The joints themselves may be symmetrical, but they
must be routed on opposite ends of the jig because the sloped
front edges will not register accurately against the fixed vertical
side stops.
12-6 At the back of the desk both sides and top are flush, so the
rear edges are set against the side stops. Place the left end of the
top tail board against the left side stop
e
. Rout the tails.
12-7 The left side of the desk goes against the left side stop
e
.
Rout the pins.

.
Rout the pins.
12-10 Rotate the finger assembly to TD Tails mode. Clamp the

the board and clamp against the right side stop to rout the tails in
the other end.
