Place the - switched off - router on the male jig, passing the cutter through the hole provided (top left) (Fig.
17).
Cut the pin in one or two passes depending on the width of the timber and the desired cutting quality.
The cutter setting on the router is always the same for the pin and the pin socket.
The jigs are designed in such a way that there is automatically a difference of 2 mm cutting depth between the
pin and the pin socket. This ensures a perfect fit.
6.6.1
Cutting the pin in one pass
Cutting the pin in one pass is possible with a narrow collar (the area between the edge of the beam and the
pin). When cutting, follow the conical inner edge of the jig by pressing the guide ring of the router against it.
Start cutting at the top left, descend along the jig and end at the top right. Switch off the machine and pull it
out of the large cut area of the jig.
Observe the direction of travel of the cutter and cut in the direction of travel of
the cutter (Fig. 10). Always press the guide ring correctly against the jig.
6.6.2
Cutting the pin in two passes
Cutting the pin in two passes is necessary as soon as the collar is wider and/or perfect cutting quality is
required.
At the first pass, cut 5 to 10 mm from the outside of the beam. Start cutting at the top left, descend along the jig
and end at the top right. Return to the starting point and make sure that you follow the same path as on the
way in (on the outside of the beam), otherwise cutting in the opposite direction poses a danger to the operator
and the material.
Observe the direction of travel of the cutter and cut in the direction of travel of
the cutter (Fig. 10).
In the second pass, cut along the conical inner edge of the jig. Start cutting at the top left, descend along the jig
and end at the top right (Fig. 18).
Switch off the machine and pull it out of the large area of the jig that has been cut
free (Fig. 17).
6.7
Cutting the pin socket
Observe the direction of travel of the cutter and cut in the direction of travel of
the cutter (Fig. 10).
Place the - switched off - router on the female jig, passing the cutter through the hole provided.
Switch on the machine. Starting from the entry hole, cut 2-3 cm up the right edge of the jig to avoid tearing out
the timber and return to the starting point.
