Owners Manual

Please Read Carefully!

BEFORE BEGINNING

Identify and verify that you have all the parts listed. Read the instructions at least once, familiarizing yourself with the parts, before beginning assembly. You’ll need a #3 Phillips screwdriver for assembly. The Kurka Jig is designed to drill most, if not all, of the shelf pin holes, wing plate holes (on frameless cabinets only) and/or 2 to 3 drawer slide mounting holes on all the cabinet sides before assembly. To makes things simpler and increase your productivity, we recommend you use a metric measuring tape. Choose Using a plunge router is faster and prod uces a slig htly cleaner/ squarer hole on unassembled parts. Drilling is easiest if your cabinet is assembled. For routing, you’ll need a 15202 (5mm) or 15204 (1/4") upc ut c a rb ide b i t a nd a 5020K 3/8" bushing & lock nut. For drilling shelf pin holes we offer two choices: HSS (high speed steel) 6512 (5mm) o r 6516 (1 /4 ") Self-Centering Drill is good for solid wood or plywood. Has a retr ac t able barrel, brad point t ip a nd a 1/4" hex shank . CT (ca rb ide t ip ped) Self-Ce nte r i ng D rill asse mbly lasts longer when dr il li ng mela m i ne pa nels. You’ll need the 650 0 S elf -Center ing CT Dri ll Hold e r, which has a retract able barrel and a 3/8" shank . Select a 6501 (5mm) or 6502 (1/4") CT Drill to be used interchangeably in the 6500 Drill Holder. Both have carbide brad point tips.

between rout i ng or d rilli ng t he shelf pi n holes.

Use a 7/64" self-centering drill bit

(6507) with the reducer bushing (786D - see fig. A) we include

to drill conventional pilot holes for a #6 screw to mount the drawer glides and wing plates.

Determine if you’ll be making

FRAMELESS CABINETS (see pg. 4) or FACE FRAME CABINETS (see pg. 7) and read

that section. Afterwards return to the ASSEMBLY section.

ASSEMBLY

When completed you’ll have two assemblies, a Right Kurka Jig for the right hand cabinet sides and a Left Kurka Jig for the left hand cabinet sides. At the top of the Jig Plates, insert 1/2" screws (MF005) through the plate starting from the front, then start an oval nut (5760B) on the end of the screws. See fig. 1. The next step will depend on the length of the parts you’ll be using the jig on. If the parts are 768mm (30- 1/4") or shorter, insert 1/2" screws through the holes at the bottom of the jig plate starting from the front, then start an oval nut on the end of the screws. See fig. 1. If the parts are longer than 768mm (30-1/4"), insert 1/2" screws through the holes at the bottom of the jig plate starting from the back, then start an oval nut on the end of the screws. See fig. 2. Take the Right Front and Left Front jig plates and slide a 26" One Track (4226 - for base or utility cabinets), or 14" One Track (4214 - for upper cabinets), on the oval nuts at the top of each plate. Position the end of the track so it’s flush with the front of the plate and the edge of the track is flush with the top of the plate, then tighten the screws. Slide the same length One Track on to the oval nuts at the bottom of each plate. Position the end of the track so it’s flush with the front of the plate. The edge of the track will over hang the bottom of the plate slightly and it will measure 770mm or 30-5/16" from the track at the top (measured inside to inside). Tighten the screws on the bottom track. See fig. 3.

Slide two Universal Plates on to the 26" tracks for base

cabinets. Slide one Universal Plate on to the 14" tracks for upper cabinets. Use the Setup Plates (786A) and Setup Pins (786P) to position the Universal Plates in 32mm increments from the Front Plate. The position of the Universal Plates can correspond to the second (or possibly even the third) mounting hole for your drawer glides in base cabinets, or necessary shelf pin locations. Tighten the screws when done and remove the Setup Plates and Setup Pins. See fig. 3 & 4. In addition to the assemblies for Upper and Base cabinets just described, you can also use just the Front Plates of the Kurka Jig for Utility Cabinets which may only require wing plate mounting holes. Insert a 1" screw (MF015) through the hole at the top inside of the Front Plate. Install a 3/8" bushing (BUSH050) and a thumb screw (5521) on the end of the screw. This serves as the indexer for the top of the Front Plate instead of a length of One Track. See fig. 5. In addition to indexing off the top of the cabinet side, the Kurka Jig indexes off the front of the cabinet side using thumb screws and spacers. The front indexing holes - see fig. 6, position the jig with a 37mm offset and are used for frameless cabinets and face frame cabinets with inset drawers. The back indexing holes - see fig. 6, position the jig 3/4" further out for face frame cabinets with full overlay drawers. Install the 1/4" spacers (BUSH002) on the 1/2" thumb screws (5503) and, from the bottom of the plate, screw them into the three holes needed for your type of cabinet. The Indexing Pin (781P) is used to re-index the jig on long parts using a previously drilled hole. You’ll need to remove any tracks on the back of the jig plates and re-attach them to the front of the plates when doing long parts.
