12. To set up the comb for the opposite part of this
joint. Using the board that has just been cut, (board in
vertical position within the jig) release this from the cam
lock pressure by pulling the locking handle up. Move
over to the left hand side of the jig, release the side stop
and push the fingers through the your pre-cut board.
Centralize the wooden finger between that of the
aluminum fingers of the comb bar, there should be an
equal gap either side of the timber and comb bar fingers.
Re-clamp this board within the jig by pushing locking
handle downwards, double check that this is centralised
seated squarely to the underside of the comb bar, see fig
68-69.

13. With the pre cut board centralised between the
fingers of the comb bar and held squarely in place,
slide the side stop bracket to the left so that it meets the
side of the workpiece. Re-lock the Hex screw in place, see
fig 70-71.

14. Position the other board within the vertical position
of the jig, ensure that this lies parallel to the side stop
and also meets squarely on the underside of the comb
bar. Remember that the comb bar needs to be supported
up off of the body of the jig with a parallel board, lock in
place with the cam lock lever.
15. Re-check the depth of cut by placing the unplugged
router upon the jig and checking the cutter depth to
that of the scribe line on the timber. Also ensure that the
workpiece lies between the two scribe lines on the comb
bar, if not, adjust as in step 8, see fig 66.
16. Replace the vacuum support bar and position the
router on the comb and support bar. Double check
everything is locked off.
17. Cut this part of the joint, work from left to right,
do not force the router and work with a slow even
movement, this will help to reduce the breakout of
the back face of the workpiece, see fig 72.
18. Test fit the two parts of the joint by bringing together,
the only adjustment on this cut is the depth of cutter,
which can be raised or lowered with the aim of getting
the meeting point of the two boards level on the outer
edge.
