TIPS & TECHNIQUES
ADJUSTING THE FIT Fine adjustments to the
fit of a joint can be made by loosening the positioning
lock knob and holding the red knob as you rotate the
silver micro-adjusting knob. Turning the silver knob
clockwise makes the pin larger for a tighter fit, while
turning the knob counterclockwise makes the pin
smaller for a looser fit. (It may be helpful to remember
the phrase, “Righty Tighty, Lefty Loosey”.) Use the laser
cut slit on the silver knob and the engraved marks
on the end of red knob to gauge movement, Fig. 29.
Each mark represents .001” (one thousandth of an
inch). After adjusting, always tighten the positioning
lock knob located on top of the IBOX fence extrusion.
STOCK MARKING TIP Here’s a way to be sure
that your wood is fully seated on the stock ledge before
you begin each cut. Before cutting, stand each of your
boards against the face of the fence and place a pencil
mark across the board along the top of the fence, Fig. 30.
That way, if the board is not fully seated, you’ll easily see
it in comparing the mark to the top of the fence, Fig. 31.
CENTERED JOINERY In theory, just multiplying
your cut width by an odd number should give you
a board width that when cut will have an equal pin
width on the outside edges of 2 of your boards. In
practice it doesn’t work out quite that way. You need
exact measurements of both the pin and groove width
and a degree in higher math for the formula to work
in your favor. Suffice it to say that it is easier just to
make your stock 1/8” to 1/4” wider than the “Kerf x
Odd Number” formula and then trim off the excess
after cutting the joints. If you are interested in a more
creative approach to a centered joint, check out the
“decorative techniques” in the included DVD.
