Using the Base Support Bracket
The base support bracket stabilizes the joiner when
mortising on the face of a narrow board as shown to the
right. The base support bracket mounts to the underside of
the joiner with two thumbscrews. Before tightening the
thumbscrews, check to make sure the face of the support
bracket is flush with the face of the joiner.

will point forward when locked, and this will
interfere with the workpiece. If this happens, remov
