Using the Template

4.
When setting the recess depth (i.e. cutter depth), sit the
router flat on the template face and bottom the cutter on
to the door edge, see fig 05. Set the depth stop using the
flap of the hinge inserted between the turret stop screw
and the depth gauge rod. It is always advisable to initially
cut the recess in a piece of scrap timber and check the
finished recess depth.

5.
Cut the recess by first locking the router plunge to the
depth set by the depth gauge and cutting in from the
edge of the door, see fig 06. Start by making a back cut
(i.e. against the direction of cutter rotation, that is from
right to left), before removing the remaining waste from
the recess. By back cutting you will achieve a clean recess
edge. If the recess is slightly short, remove a sliver from
one end using a sharp bevel edge chisel.
6.
To finish, square the corners of the recess using a UJK
Technology Corner Chisel (code 103864) or a sharp bevel
edge chisel, see figs 07-08.
