Once you have successfully found the center of the
boardʼs width with your router bit, slide the template you
have selected for joinery into one of the scale slots on your
Incra Jigʼs carriage. This must always be done with the
carriage still locked at the center position you just found. Slide
the template until the suggested center cut on the template is
directly under the hairline cursor. Youʼll find the suggested
center cut listed under the diagram of each template pattern
shown above. You are now ready to cut the joint.

With the jig still locked at the
center of your board, slide the
template in to position the “center
cut” under the hairline cursor
In order to save wood when centering the bit on
wide stock, just leave one of the boards youʼve cut for
your box about an inch to two longer than necessary. Clamp
this piece to your Right Angle Fixture as shown in Fig. 23
and make the test cuts described in Step 3 through the end
of the board, flipping the piece edge for edge before making
the second cut. After you are centered, just crosscut the
extra length off of the boardʼs end.
