The template is adjustable from front to
back so that the joint will be hidden when
the dovetails are complete. Adjustment is
made by loosening the two templates lock
knobs.
Don't adjust the screws holding the
template.
To adjust the template to the proper
position:
1.
Mount your drawer pieces in the jig. The
horizontal piece must be tight and flush with
the top of the vertical piece. When mounted
correctly, you'll be able to see the top edge
of the vertical piece.
2.
For pieces that are less than 7/8" thick,
slide the template so the front edge of the
template fingers are 1/8" back from the top
edge of the vertical piece. See Figure-8.
For side pieces thicker than 7/8", add 1/8"
to the amount that the board exceeds 7/8".
Then, set the front edge of the template
fingers back from the edge by that sum.
See Figure-8.
Figure 8 shows checking the template to make
sure it is parallel to the top of the vertical
pieces. The inside faces are showing.
NOTE:
Ensure that the front edge of the
template is parallel to the edge of the
vertical work-piece. To maintain a high
degree of accuracy when adjusting the
template, measure at one end of the jig,
then measure at the other end. Make
adjustments to the template and re-
measure both positions. To measure at
both ends of the jig, try shifting the vertical
piece to the other end of the jig or clamp
two pieces at each end of the jig as shown
in Figure-8. It is not necessary to
simultaneously measure with two rulers.
The two rulers only represent two
measurement locations
3.
Tighten the two template lock knobs and
recheck your measurements.
Figure 9 shows the template set back an
additional 1/8” for a 1” thick board. The inside
faces are showing.
