CLAMP ADJUSTING

The clamping pressure should be adjusted
so the work-piece can be easily  slid under
the bar when the hand lever is up. Push the
hand lever down to hold the work-piece in
place.  See  Figure-5. Do not use excessive
force when pushing the lever. If excessive
force is required, loosen the clamping
pressure knobs slightly.

Figure

shows clamping down the work-piece

SIDE STOP SET UP

The side stops serve three purposes: 1)
they position each work-piece square to
each other, 2) they offset the two work
pieces for proper alignment, and 3) they
give lateral support to the work pieces
during router. Since tails and pins are
routed in one operation. The work-pieces
must be offset. The amount of offset is
equal to the width of the template fingers.

IMPORTANT

: All pieces must be cut

perfectly square for the jig to work properly.
To adjust the side stops:

1.

Start with the drawer back. It goes under

the top clamp and the template. This piece
lies horizontally. Move it near either one of
the side stops.

2.

Shift the work-piece so it is centered

under the template fingers. Figure 6.
Centering ensures that the pins and tails on
the ends will be identical to each other.
Clamp the back in place.

Figure

6

shows the location of the front side stop.

Note how the board is centered under the
template

3.

Now, insert a drawer side under the

front clamp. This piece will be vertical.
