3. The router base and bit must be secure
before plugging in your router. Hold the
router firmly with both hands and support it
on the template. Make sure that the bit is
clear of the work-piece. Turn the router on
and gently ease the bit into the work,
letting the guide bushing gently contact the
template. Facing the dovetail jig, start at
your left side and work to the right, first
remove the material IN FRONT of the
fingers. Second, remove the material
BETWEEN the fingers. Ensure that the
router base and guide bushing stay in firm
contact with the template. See Figure 11.
HINT: If you are using material thicker that
7/8", cut it in two stages. First, remove the
material IN FRONT OF the fingers.
Second, remove the material BETWEEN
the fingers.

4. Remove both pieces from the jig and
join the dovetails.
5. It may be necessary to tap the two
pieces together with a hammer and wood
block (see page 17E). If alignment is so
poor that the two pieces will not fit
together, line up each piece as much as
possible and determine the direction and
degree of fine adjustment. If the two pieces
do not fit, it is usually because they were
not milled square or the pieces were not
flush with each other in the jig. See page

OPERATIONS
Use care when the router bit exits the
work-piece to reduce the risk of tear-
out. See section 16 A. for further
instructions.
