• Secure your workpiece on the three sides that
will not be cut; use toggle clamps or fasten the
workpiece to the jig with wood screws.
• Make the jig stable and sturdy. Fasten the hand holds
so hands will remain at least 6" away from the cutter
during the entire operation.
• Ensure that clamps and hidden screws will not come
into contact with the cutter.
• Design your fixture so that all cutting occurs
underneath the workpiece.
• Make sure the workpiece rests flat on the table, not
on the fixture.
• Remember, there is tremendous cutting force on
the workpiece. The workpiece holding jig must be
solid and stable, and the workpiece must be firmly
secured.

A template is a workpiece holding jig with a shape or
pattern that rides against the rub collar during operation
as the cutter cuts the matching profile on the workpiece
edge (see =`^li\+,). Using templates allows identical
parts to be cut with speed and accuracy.

• Use a material that will smoothly follow the rub
collar or fence.
• Always consider the cutting circle and rub collar
diameter for the correct depth of cut when designing
your pattern.
