Ensure the router base plate will not
foul the clamps.
Ensure worktop is held securely
to trestles. Ensure jig is clamped
securely to worktop and placed at a
suitable and comfortable work height.
Setting up the Workpiece in the Rear
Material Slide
n
Cut an off-cut from the workpiece to be scribed.
This should be a square cut and of a size the
operator feels comfortable with. (We recommend
40-50mm wide).
n
Place the workpiece into the set out channel on
the top plate ensuring that the most intricate part
is pushed up tight against the top edge of the
channel.
Fine Adjustment Stop
n
The stop is factory set to give a perfect fitting
scribe. However to fix minor alignment issues, the
stop can be adjusted so that the cut perfectly lines
up to the work piece. Slightly loosen screw head,
adjust and tighten to achieve perfect fit. (To lower
the scribe cut into the workpiece, adjust downwards
away from the outer edge of the jig, to make the
scribe higher adjust upwards towards the outer
edge of the jig).
n
The rear face of the workpiece should be pushed
up tight against the rear material slide.
Aligning the Rear Material Slide Stops
n
One slide stop should be pushed up tightly against
the bottom of the off-cut and set flush with the front
edge of the off-cut and tightened down.
n
The other slide stop should be pushed up against
the top of the off-cut. With the front edge flush
with the smallest part of the workpiece off-cut and
tightened down.
n
The slide stops have three functions:
1. To clamp the workpiece in the right position
while the combs are aligned.
2. To give a smooth run for the follow pin and
the corresponding router cut.
3. To avoid a small radius on the entry and
exit cut of the workpiece.
n
When the workpiece is a chamfered, bull nosed or
pencil round there is no need to use the upper most
slide stop. (With these type of mouldings there isn’t
a flat end cut on the workpiece).
Fit the bottom stop first to ensure
off-cut does not move.
