23. Once the timber has been cut, inspect the surface
of this, as it is very easy to leave a little material that
should have been removed. The timber should follow
the contour of the guide comb, and so any bumps and
lumps are avoided. The finished cut face should be
parallel with the fingers of the jig, if not, re cut this now,
see fig 31-32-33.

24. Remove the now routed parts from the jig and test fit
these together, any adjustment on how tight the joint fits
together can now be made to the ‘Pin’ board.
If the joint is too tight to go together, this can be adjusted
by moving the comb bar location towards the back of
the jig, this being done by moving the brass adjustment
wheel clockwise, see fig 34, how much will depend on
how tight the joint is and the type of wood being jointed
together. This needs to be done evenly on both side of
the jig to keep the comb parallel, reinsert the boards
follow guide as pre-listed, then re-cut the ‘Pin’ board to
remove this small amount, retest the joint fit. When
happy with the joint fit cut the rest of the ‘Pin’ boards.

If the joint fit is too loose, then cut this test joint section
off, realign the ‘Pin’ board within the jig. Following guide
as above, slacken the black star knobs, see fig 35 and
turn the brass depth stop wheels anti-clockwise which
will move the comb bar location towards the user and
so tightening the joint. Re-tighten the black star knobs,
check and follow guide to re-cut the ‘Pin’ boards, when
done recheck the fit of this joint. To get the outer edges
of the boards to align correctly adjust the depth of the
cut.
