In this
example we are using boards with
the following dimensions: 3/4" x
17-3/16" x 24" [19mm x 437mm
x 203mm].
Mark the pin and socket boards and
the board edge that goes against the
side stop.
IMPORTANT:
Read this whole
chapter before routing any
boards.

Boards wider than 9-11/16"
[246mm] cannot be centered under
the template. Therefore a narrower
board must be used to position the
side stop. Select a narrow board width
from the chart and cut a board to that
width, in this case, 3-11/16"[94mm].

With the socket board stop fully
retracted, clamp the narrow board
in the vice and center the left end of
the template over the board, leaving
equal amounts of the board showing
at each edge. Clamp the jig in place.
