When they are clamped in the jig, the
two pieces of timber are automatically
offset by an integral stop.
The timber must be clamped flush to
the underside of the finger template.

Warning
The diameter of the
dovetail cutter supplied
with the jig is larger
than the inside
diameter of the guide
bush. Therefore take
great care not to
accidentally release the
router’s plunge lock,
allowing the cutter to
hit the guide bush as
this will damage the
cutting edges. For
safety it is advisable to
fit a fine height adjuster
to the router to avoid
this problem.
When end jointing long lengths of
timber, the jig can be used vertically.
The brush prevents the shavings being
thrown upwards.
