IF THE JOINT IS TOO LOOSE - reposition the finger
away from the cutter.
Loosen the finger, use a spacer (eg. a few pieces of
paper) to move the finger away from the stop, then re-
lock. Relocate the stop up against the finger, to store
the position
2. The set up described will result in a half width first
finger. The width of the first and last fingers can be
adjusted by re-positioning the initial cut stop and its'
supports. Move the initial cut stop away from the slider
to increase the width of the first finger, or towards
the slider to reduce it. Keep the stop within the range
marked "X" in Fig. 9a & 9b

3. The fingers should protrude about 0.5mm past the
face of the mating workpiece. This allows them to
be sanded (or trimmed, using a flush trim cutter) to a
perfectly matched joint
If the fingers are below the face of the mating
workpiece, increase the cutter depth as required

4. If the pieces are not completely flush at the top and
bottom, check:
• the initial cut stop is square to the fence
GB
• the pieces are securely clamped together and that
they cannot move while cutting
• the pieces are of the same widths and were cut
squarely
Jointing four sides at once (Fig. 10)
1. Cut four pieces from identical width board (2 pairs
of different lengths or all 4 the same). Ensure the
ends are square and the sides are parallel

2. Adjust the fence to fit all pieces at once. Rest the
boards against the initial cut stop, offset in equal
length pairs, and G-clamp together. Fig. 10
3. Complete the cuts as outlined in 'Practice Joint',
and return the Finger Jointer to the start position
4. Refit the initial cut stop in the reverse position that
it was first used. Turn the workpieces over to match
the offset direction of the initial cut stop, ensuring
that the marked edges are against the intial cut
stop. If cutting 2 pairs of different lengths loosen
the G-clamp and slide the shorter pieces down onto
the table. Position the workpieces against the initial
cut stop and re-tighten the clamp
5. Finish the remaining cuts as outlined in 'Practice
Joint'
6. Before releasing the clamp, mark all four boards at
the same end to keep the joints matched
7. Interlock the mating fingers to check the joints.
When satisfied with the result separate the pieces,
apply a thin smear of glue on all joining faces, then
assemble the four sides. Check for square before
allowing to dry
8. When dry sand or trim (using a flush trim router
cutter) the protruding fingers. If trimming, it is good
practice to position some scrap material behind the
work to prevent the end grain from breaking away
