Cutting to Length for 45

°

 Joints only 

When producing a male joint, left or 
right handed and where the worktop 
turns through 45

°

, the position of the 

cut jig has to be calculated. It is easier 
if the female joint is cut first, leaving 
the gap intended for the male part of 
the worktop. 
 

Example 

The female joint has already been cut 
(see left diagram) and the length of 
the male worktop needed is 1000mm 
(1 metre).  

 
Position your worktop jig onto the laminate referring back to the instructions on 45° joints. 
 
Subtract 293mm from the intended length - (this dimension is engraved on the jig and relates to 
the distance from the bottom edge of the jig to where the edge of the cut will be). 
 
E.g. 1000mm – 292 = 708mm 
 
Position the worktop jig 708mm from the opposite end of the laminate you’re cutting (see bottom 
left diagram) 
 
After the cut, a 1000mm length laminate is left. 
 
Change the 1000mm figure used in this example for whatever length you require.
