SETTING THE JIG FOR DIFFERENT TYPES OF JOINT
(a) Mitre joint
The mitre plate is moved back and forward to centrally position the dovetail cut according to the width
of the timber. The bar clamp is then used to secure the component in place before machining.
The top plate is adjusted by loosening screws (Fig. 1, pos. 17). This adjustment is to allow for
different timber thicknesses. The slot in the timber components should be cut to a depth that allows
the key cap to finish flush with the surface of the timber.

(b) T joint
The mitre plate is removed to allow for timber to be held in place using the bar clamp. Be sure that
the end of the timber component is pushed up square under the top plate. The end stop can be set
for multiple components.
