Chapter 12

12-19

Test the joint for fit. The tail should be too
big. If it is too small, adjust the finger assem-
bly outward by at least half the difference
and rout another test tail on the other end
of this test board.

12-20

If the tail is too big

➀

, move the finger assem-

bly in toward the jig by half the amount the
tail is too big

➁

. Rout the same test board

again and keep adjusting and testing until
you have a good fit. Note: Variations in board
thickness, guidebush diameter, cutter depth,
angle, diameter and concentricity, make it
impractical to record or chart scale settings
for sliding tail size. Use trial and error each
time. It doesn’t take long, and you get a good
fit.

12-21

When the fit is satisfactory, rout one end of
a project tail board and test again. If the fit
is good, rout all the other ends.
