11. Once your setup has been tested and verified, position your
first workpiece against the Large Sacrificial Miter Gauge
Fence (2) so one end abuts the Adjustable Keys. Hold or
clamp the piece securely and advance the miter gauge and
jig to make the first cut.
10. Move the workpiece and fit the notch just cut onto the
Adjustable Keys. Hold or clamp the test piece securely

11. Continue to shift the workpiece, indexing the notches on
the Adjustable Keys, until all desired cuts have been made.
12. Once all test cuts have been made and the jig has
been adjusted to fit your needs make the cuts with
your final material.
Making a Replacement Fence
After a period of using your Cross Lap Jig to cut joints at different
spacing intervals, the Large Sacrificial Miter Gauge Fence (2)
could have a number of slots cut away. It’s easy to make a
replacement fence.
1. Cut a piece of 3/4" thick MDF or melamine-coated
particleboard 3" wide x 22" long.
2. Machining the T-slot involves two cutting operations: one to
cut a straight groove and another to cut the “T.” For the first
operation, use a 3/8" diameter straight or spiral up-cut bit in
a table-mounted router to cut a 3/8" deep groove along the
length of the piece. Position the router fence so the groove
will be centered 1" in from one of the long edges.
Fig. 13.
3. Install the T-Slot Router Bit (26099, sold separately) in the
router, set the cutting depth to 3/8", and position the fence
so the bit will be centered in the 3/8" groove.

4. Rout the T-slot, taking care to keep your workpiece tight to
the fence as you advance it.
