■ Remove the template (1), slide the edge
guide up against the box side (2) held
under the front clamp. Then tighten the
edge guide securing screw (3).
■ Repeat the setting up operation for the
right-hand side edge guide using the right-
hand off-set line.
■ Ensure the packing piece supports the
whole width of the box side, otherwise
breakout could occur when routing.
Routing the Joint
■ Set the depth of cut as follows:
3 to 6mm - one pass
6 to 12mm - two passes
12 to 18mm - three passes
The full depth of cut should be the same as
the thickness of the box side. A slightly
deeper cut can be made if finishing is
desired. However be careful not to rout into
the body of the jig.
■ To ensure a correctly fitting and a mirrored
joint is obtained, place the pieces marked
‘A’ against the left hand edge guide and
the ‘B’ piece against the right hand edge
guide.
■ Rout from left to right following each finger.
■ Repeat the above steps for each box side.
■ If the ends of the box sides are not flush
then adjust the 1.6mm offset accordingly.
■ Check the joints by assembling them dry.
Any extra length to the fingers can be
routed down and sanded off.
