1. Install Handle & Measuring Arm:
Remove the Fillet Cutter unit & handle from the box. Unwrap the handle with the 2 screws
attached. Use the larger allen wrench to attach the handle to the top lever of the machine.
See illustration at right. Mount the measuring arm to the side bracket of the Fillet Cutter
now, before mounting the entire unit to a board or bench.
Be sure to align the measuring arm with
the front angle guide before tightening all
the screws. Use either a piece of llet at
least 36” long or a yardstick for this task
2. Mounting The Unit:
The Fillet Cutter can be mounted directly to a
work bench or attached to a small board for
portability. When mounting to a board, position
the unit to the back of the board so that most of
the wood is in front of the unit. This will eliminate
tipping. A board measuring 6” x 8” x 1/2” thick, is
large enough.You can also mount the unit to a wall
provided there are studs handy to use. It’s best to
rst mount the unit to a 1”x4” board long enough
to span at least 2 studs in your wall. Using a
longer board will allow you to build in some
support for the llet on the infeed side of the unit
as well. Small dowels work well for this.
NOTE: When mounting to a wall, rst remove the
back angle bracket. Mount through the holes in the
base channel to the board, then lag bolt the board
and unit to the studs.
3. Measuring & Cutting Fillet To Length:
STEP 1: Place the llet on the Fillet Cutter with
the at ange portion against the front guide.
