6. Clamp these boards in place using the eccentric bar
clamps, the pressure of the eccentric bar clamps being
adjusted by turning the plastic knobs mounted at each
end of the eccentric bar clamps, see page 8. When
adjusting these ensure that the eccentric bar is
paralleled to the jointing face of the jig, the aim being
to hold the board firmly. The handles of the eccentric
bar clamps should be pushed down on the horizontal
clamp and away from the user in the vertical clamp.
7. With the boards loaded within the jig, check that the
comb bar assembly sits evenly across the ‘Pin’ board, the
tail board may need to be dropped down to allow this to
happen. Push the comb bar assembly down firmly, then
tighten the black star knobs on either side of the jig to
firmly fix the comb bar assembly in place, see fig 07.

Tail
8. Gently un-clamp the ‘Tail’ board that is held in the
vertical location, slide this up the under side of the comb
bar assembly. To get the joint central on the board, slide
the ‘Tail’ board left or right within the jig with the aim of
getting an equal amount of material on either side of the
first and last aluminum finger on the comb bar. Double
check that the top of the ‘Tail’ board is located evenly all
the way across the under side of the aluminum comb,
and re-fix this in place by pushing the eccentric cam bar
handle downwards, see fig 08.

9. Undo the hex cap screw that holds the side stop
in place, slide the side stop over to reposition this up
against the ‘Tail’ board, re-tighten the cap screw, see fig
09.
10. Due to the fact the cutter will clear all the way
through the ‘Tail’ board, it is worth moving the material
that is held in the horizontal position (‘Pin’ board) back
away from the jointing face of the ‘Tail’ board. To do this
undo the horizontal eccentric cam bar and slide the
wood back away from the jig to create a gap of about
25mm -1. Lock back into position.
Once this is done, it is important that the aluminum
comb bar is set parallel to the ‘Tail’ board, the two preset
lines that are machined into the surface of the comb give
a visual guide, the second of these two lines needs to
be set level with the back edge of the ‘Tail’ board. This is
adjusted by loosening the black star knobs on either side
of the jig, then by moving the brass depth adjustment
wheels forward or backwards, this will move the comb
bar assembly forward or backwards allowing the lining
up with this guide line. Re-tighten the black star knobs
and check that the comb is still evenly supported across
the width on the ‘Pin’ board, see fig 10.
Set-up the Router
11. Check that router is unplugged. Load the dovetail
cutter into the router making sure that two thirds of the
cutter shank are held in the collet, the bar lines on the
Axcaliber cutters being a visual guide. Select the ¾"guide
bush, this needs to be assembled into the guide bush
adaptor (not supplied).
