1. 

FEMALE JOINT

   

Refer to the diagrams on the different joints 

available. For the female cut in your worktop, position the jig as 
shown in diagram 

A

 and the worktop face up and the post formed 

(curved edge) towards you. 

2. 

Insert three pins in the holes marked ‘

’. 

3. Insert 

the 

4

th

 pin in the hole dependant on your worktop width. e.g. If 

your worktop is 650mm wide (as shown in diagram A) then insert the 
4

th

 pin in the hole marked 65. 

4. 

Make sure the 3 pins in the holes marked with 

 are firmly pushed 

against the front post formed edge and the pin in the hole marked 
with the worktop width is pushed firmly against the edge of the 
worktop (see diagram A) 

5. 

Clamp the jig to the worktop checking that all 4 pins are still against 
the worktop. Make sure the clamps will not obstruct the router path. 

 
6. 

CUTTING

 

Position the router in the far left side of the central 

slot. Set the router to cut a depth of 10mm. 

7. 

IMPORTANT - Position the router in the slot and cut from left to 
right, pulling the router against the edge of the slot closest to 
you. 

 

8. 

Remove the router, and start again from the far left of the central 
slot, but increase the depth a further 10mm.   

9. Follow 

steps 

6

 – 

8

, until cut is complete. 

10.  For the final finishing cut, position the router again in the far left side 

of the central slot, and set the router to cut at the full depth of the 
worktop. Again, cut from left to right but apply the pressure to the 
edge furthest away from you.  

 
11. 

MALE JOINT

    

For the male cut in your worktop, prepare the  

worktop face down and turn the jig over from the face used 
previously. 

12.  Insert 2 pins in holes marked 

13.  Refer to the page on ‘cutting to length’ on page 8 to find out where to 

mark the pencil line to determine the position of the jig along the 
length of the worktop. 

14.  Make sure the 2 pins in the holes marked 

’ 

are firmly pushed 

against the post formed edge (see diagram B) 

15.  Clamp the jig to the worktop checking that both pins are still against 

the worktop. Make sure the clamps will not obstruct the router path. 

16.  Follow steps 6 to 10 for cutting the worktop. 
 
17. 

FEMALE BOLT RECESSES  

Take the worktop into which you have 

cut the female cut and position the worktop face down. 

18.  Position the jig  as shown in diagram C, and insert 4 pins in the 

holes which have a symbol resembling a worktop connector bolt 
recess as indicated on diagram C. 

19.  Make sure the 4 pins are firmly pushed against the front cut out and 

the edge of the worktop. 

20.  Clamp the jig to the worktop checking that all 4 pins are still firmly 

against the worktop. Make sure the clamps will not obstruct the 
router path. 

21.  You will need a depth of 20mm for the worktop connectors.  Do not 

exceed 10mm per cut. 

22.  Cut the bolt recesses out, each time clearing the waste material after 

each cut.

 

 

 
23. 

MALE BOLT RECESSES

   Take the worktop into which you have 

cut the male cut and position the worktop face down. 

24.  Position the jig as shown in diagram D and insert 4 pins in the holes 

which have a symbol resembling a worktop connector bolt recess - 
this was shown in diagram C. 

25.  Make sure the 4 pins are firmly pushed against the front cut out and 

the edge of the worktop. 

26.  Clamp the jig to the worktop checking that all 4pins are still firmly 

against the worktop. Make sure the clamps will not obstruct the 
router path. 

27.  You will need a depth of 20mm for the worktop connectors.  Do not 

exceed 10mm per cut. 

28.  Cut the bolt recesses out, each time clearing the waste material after 

each cut.

FEMALE JOINT

   

For the female cut in your worktop, position the 

jig as shown in diagram A and the worktop face down and the post 
formed (curved edge) towards you. 

2. 

Insert three pins in the holes marked

3. 

Insert the 4

th

 pin in the hole dependant on your worktop width, e.g. 

If your worktop is 650mm wide then insert the 4

th

 pin in the hole 

marked 65 (see diagram A).

and the edge of the worktop (see diagram C). 

20.  Clamp the jig to the worktop checking that all 4 pins are still firmly 

against the worktop. Make sure the clamps will not obstruct the 
router path. 

21.  You will need a depth of 20mm for the worktop connectors.  Do not 

exceed 10mm per cut.
