ASSEMBLING THE CMT300
2) Assembling the CMT300
Fig. 1: The first job is to mount the CMT300 on the workbench. Four self-tapping screws are supplied for
this purpose.
Fig. 2: This diagram enables to understand how to mount the components required to adjust the position
of the template. First of all, fit screw 15 in the hole of the body, using the hex key (supplied) and carefully
tightening it, fitting lock nut 2 on the other side, then fit washer 11 and tighten nut 12 manually. Repeat this
procedure on the other side of the body.
The components (3) and screws (10) are used to position the wood. Tighten the stops (3) on the body (1)
using the screws (10). Set the stops in the positions U1 on the top of the system and F1 on the front of the
system.
Fig. 3: : This diagram enables to mount the template 5.
Fit the two adjustable supports (13) on it with the four screws (14).
Fig. 4: This diagram shows how to install the clamping bars that will enable the workpiece to be held in place.
These bars have a sandpaper coating, which ensures more grip and therefore a better hold on the workpiece
during machining.
Fit the two screws with over-sized locking knobs (7) in the washers (8), in the bar (4) and in the spring (9).

All that has to be done now is to tighten the two screws with the over-sized locking knobs in the threaded
holes.
Repeat this procedure for the front bar.
Fig. 5: Lastly, place the template on the body of the CMT300.
To do so, just fit the supports (13) between parts 2 and 11.
Fig. 6: Once the template is positioned, it can be adjusted on the two axes - X and Y. Just tighten or loosen
the stop nut (2) for X-axis settings and raise or lower the guides (13) for Y-axis settings. Once the exact
setting has been found, tighten nut 12 to lock in place. Assembly is now complete.

INSTALLING THE ROUTER
3) Installing the router
To use the CMT300 system, a router is required, on which a guide ring must be fitted, to enable the machine
to be controlled on the template.
be impossible to install the guide ring on the router being used (due to the dimensions), a universal sub-base
(supplied separately) is available.
This sub-base has an external diameter of 170mm and is supplied with a line-up/centering pin to enable it
to be correctly fitted to the router.
Optional universal sub-base supplied separately
CMT300-SB1 (for Ø8 and Ø12mm shanks)
CMT300-SB2 (for Ø6.35 and Ø12.7mm shanks)
Once the guide is installed on the router, a CMT dovetail bit can be fitted for machining the wood.
4) Using the CMT300 with a standard CMT300-T128 template
The CMT300 system is supplied with a standard template (CMT300-T128), with which 12.7mm half-blind
dovetail joints can be machined using a normal CMT dovetail bit (purchased separately).
Bits that can be used with the standard CMT300-T128 template:
718.127.11 (Ø6mm shank)
818.128.11 (Ø6.35mm shank)

With each pass of the router on the board edge, a complete
assembly is machined (X1 con Y1, X2 with Y2...), so to make a
complete drawer, four work cycles must be carried out.
Positioning the wood parts and machining:
1) Place the wood part (X1, X2....) vertically against the small
positioning buffer and clamp it sufficiently with the bar to ensure
it does not slip.
2) Place the wood part (Y1, Y2....) horizontally against the small
positioning buffer and clamp it sufficiently with the bar to ensure
it does not slip.
3) Level the two pieces of wood.
4) Tighten the clamping bar of the vertical part completely.
5) Tighten the clamping bar of the horizontal part completely.
6) Position the template and tighten the nuts that hold it in place.

8) Position the router and follow the profile of the
template to carry out the machining.
9)The first assembly is finished - repeat the previous
procedure as often as required.

the screws (14).The stop rings (37 and 38) replace those
supplied as standard.
The 38 rings, which have a larger diameter than the 37
ones, are mounted on the front in F2, whereas the other
37 rings are mounted on the top part, in U1.
Fitting the guide ring: to use this template, it is necessary to dismantle the guide ring already on the
router, and replace it with the other ring (33). Then mount a dovetail bit (718.060.11 with Ø6mm shank or
818.064.11 with Ø6.35mm shank) to carry out the machining.

For the machining, a piece of scrap stock 5mm thicker than the piece to be machines must be placed
horizontally. This piece of wood used horizontally is only used to support the vertical part to be machined.

Positioning the wood parts and machining:
1) Place the wood part X1 vertically against the small positioning buffer and clamp the bar sufficiently to
ensure it does not slip.
2) Place the scrap stock horizontally and push it against the vertical piece.
3) Match the ends of the two pieces of wood.
4) Tighten the clamping bar of the vertical part completely.
5) Tighten the clamping bar of the horizontal part completely.
6) Place the template on its second (dovetail) side and check in the small hole in the template that the two
pieces are well matched.
7) Turn the template on to the first side (with the straight slots). Make certain to use the correct guide ring
and the CMT dovetail bit.
8) Move up to and away from the workpiece from the front - not from above - to avoid the risk of missing
the guide.
9) Position the router and follow the profile of the template to carry out the machining.
10) The first assembly is finished - repeat the previous procedure to make all X-axis cuts.
11) Remove the template and leave the scrap stock in place.
12) Place the wood part (Y1) vertically against the small positioning buffer and clamp the bar sufficiently to
ensure it does not slip.
13) Match the ends of the two pieces of wood.
14) Tighten the clamping bar of the vertical part completely.
17) Turn the template on to the second (dovetail) side. Make certain to use the correct guide ring and the
CMT straight bit.
16) Move up to and away from the workpiece from the front - not from above - to avoid the risk of missing
the guide.
17) Position the router and follow the profile of the template to carry out the machining.
18) The first assembly is finished - repeat the previous procedure for the rest of the joints to be made.
The following page has some illustrations that help to better understand the stages described above.
For the machining the wood components, a piece of scrap stock necessary for the machining (which will later
be thrown away) that is 5mm thicker than the piece to be machined must be placed horizontally.
This scrap stock is a piece of wood required to hold the vertical part to be machined steady.
