With both clamps opened
equally, install both inside and
outside templates to the HIT-66
clamp as shown. Do not tighten
the 10-32 screws at this time.
When all screws have been
loosely installed, then it is ok to
tighten.
There are two clamps on the
rod guides, one top and one
bottom. When aligned to the top
and bottom scribe lines on the
guide plate, they will limit the
travel. They are set up for a
standard 6-1/2” mortise. The
bottom of the top clamp should
be on the top line, and the top of
the bottom clamp should be on
the bottom line. Tighten the
screws when adjusted. To
change the size of the mortise,
use the scribe lines as a guide
and adjust accordingly. To
change the size of the mortise
by 1/8” move each clamp 1/16”
in the desired direction.
The next part to attach to the
template is the alignment guide.
When installed, it will align the
mortise pocket to the drill guide.
Notice the scribe mark in the
picture at the left. The guide can
be attached to either template, it
is attached with two 10-32 x 3/4”
flat head socket screws.
