OPERATIONS
TEAR-OUT
When cutting across the grain of the wood, tear-out or
splintering may occur when the router bit exits the
workpiece. To prevent tear-out, you may scribe a line
on the side piece with a sharp knife or awl at the same
distance down that router bit will cut. Tear-out can be
eliminated or reduced by backing up the workpiece
with a scrap piece or simply using extra care when
operating the router.
EXCESSIVE FIT
If the pins on the side piece fit too deeply in the tails of
the front or back piece, the cut is too deep. See Figure
22.
Cause: The distance between the edge of the side piece
and fence is set too wide.
Remedy: Adjust the fence forward by the same amount
that the pins are exposed. Refer to the procedure
described above for fence adjustment. See Figure 23.
Figure 22 shows excessive fit.
Figure 23. Adjust fence towards template.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
INCOMPLETE FIT
An incomplete fit occurs when the side piece protrudes
from the end of the front or back piece. See Figure 24.
Cause: The distance between the edge of the side piece
and fence is set too narrow.
Remedy: Adjust the fence toward the back of the jig by
the same amount that the tails protrude out. See Figure
25.
Figure 24 shows incomplete fit.
