ADJUSTMENTS
FENCE ADJUSTMENT
Once the side stops have been accurately set up, the
fence needs to be properly adjusted. The fence is
designed to control how far back into the template the
router will cut. If the fence is not set back far enough,
the drawer pieces will not fit all the way together. If the
fence is set too far back, the drawer pieces will slide
into one another too far leaving excess material on the
joint.
On the next page is a chart used to determine how far
back from the template to set the fence. Perform the fol-
lowing steps to determine the correct amount:
1. Measure the distance (x") from the edge of your
router base to the outside edge of the guide bush-
ing. See Figure 16.
2. Measure the thickness (in inches) of the vertical
drawer piece in the jig.
3. Use the chart on the next page. Find where the two
axes meet for your specific measurements. This is
the distance (in inches) that should be between the
fence and the front edge of the template fingers.
4. Adjust the fence accordingly. See Figure 17.
