Routing the Mortise
■
Fit the relevant mortise template to the jig
body eg A . Ensure that seating for template is
free of wood dust.
■
Plunge rout the mortise by drilling a series of
overlapping holes no more than 20mm deep.
■
Make sure plunge locking lever of router
is locked and then clean up by making a
shallow pass no more than 20mm around the
template in a clock-wise direction.
■
Remove loose waste with a screwdriver and
vacuum extractor and repeat plunge and rout
operations until full depth is achieved.
■
Deepening of mortise with auger bit and drill
will be required. See page 15.
Routing the Face-plate
■
Fit the relevant face-plate template eg 1.
Ensure seating is clear of any wood dust or
swarf.
■
Zero the depth of the cutter, by lowering it
until it touches the door edge.
■
Insert the lock fixing plate together with the
face-plate between the revolving depth guide
and the fine adjuster screw. Lower the fine
adjuster (1) and lock it off (2) see picture.
■
Release the plunge locking lever.
■
To rout the face-plate, plunge cutter to full
depth of face-plate in the middle of the
template and lock off plunge.
■
Rout in a clockwise direction to the set depth.
Release the plunge locking lever.
After use, keep jig assembled and store
carefully.
Rout in shallow passes. Do not
attempt to increase the depth of cut
by having less than the optimum
length of the cutter’s shank inserted
in the collet of your router. Trial
cuts should be made on waste
material to check the fit before
routing the door.
