MALE JOINT     

Prepare the male worktop 

with the laminate face up. 

2.  Insert 2 pins in holes marked 

 45°. 

 

3.  Refer to the page on ‘cutting to length’ on 

page 15 to find out where to mark the pencil 
line to determine the position of the jig along 
the length of the worktop. 

4.  Make sure the 2 pins in the holes marked    

 45°

are firmly pushed against the post 

formed edge (see diagram X) 

5.  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. 

6.  Follow steps 6 to 10 for cutting the worktop. 
 
 
 
 
7. 

CUTTING METHOD

 Position the 

router in the far left side of the slot. 
Set the router to cut a depth of 
10mm. 

8. 

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. 

 

9.  Remove the router, and start again 

from the far left of the central slot, but 
increase the depth a further 10mm.   

10. Follow steps 

7

 – 

9

, until cut is 

complete. 

       For the final finishing cut, position 

the router again in the far left side 
of the 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 BOLT RECESSES

     

Prepare the male worktop with the 
laminate face down. 
12.  Insert 3 pins in the holes marked 

’B’

.   

13.  Make sure the 3 pins are firmly 
pushed against the front cut out and 
the edge of the worktop (see diagram 
Z). 
14.  Clamp the jig to the worktop 
checking that all 3 pins are still firmly 
against the worktop. Make sure the 
clamps will not obstruct the router path. 
15.  You will need a depth of 20mm for 
the worktop connectors.  Do not 
exceed 10mm per cut. 
16.  Cut the bolt recesses out, each 
time clearing the waste material after 
each cut.
