Follow the safety and general instructions for using the KATIE JIG™ System except as
indicated below.
Attaching Router Table Handles to the KATIE JIG™ System
Attach handles to ends of KATIE JIG™ System fixture using screws provided
so that the guide/tuning forks will be down. Securely clamp the boards to
the KATIE JIG® System using 2 clamps. Placement of these clamps should be
done to best accommodate the boards.
CAUTION: Make sure the clamps do not interfere with the router bits.
Prepare Router Table and Set Height of Bits
For best results, use two routers mounted in router table.
Determine height for dovetail bit.
