PREPARING THE ROUTER
SAFETY OVERVIEW
1. KNOW YOUR ROUTER. Read the owner’s manual that came with your router before you use it.
Understand the machine’s applications and limitations, as well as the specific potential hazards
inherent in its use. Before using the router, check that none of its moving parts is broken, loose
or misaligned.
OTE: General Tools & Instruments is not responsible for router misuse or the disregard of
standard safety precautions associated with using a router.
Installing the “Quick Change”
Guide Sleeve
The E•Z Pro M&T ig is designed to be used with
plunge routers with base plates with a 1-3/16"
center hole and a 1-3/8" counter-bore. This is to
accommodate the included “Quick Change”
guide sleeve and bushing. If your router base
cannot mate with the guide sleeve, you can
purchase a “Universal Router Plate” with the
appropriate center hole dimensions to attach
to or replace your current router base.
With the proper base plate installed:
1. Insert the Guide leeve [R-2] into the base
plate.
2. Secure the Lock Nut [R-1] firmly with
the flat panner Wrench Provided.
3. Screw the 1-1/8" Router Guide Bushing [R-3]
into the center of the Guide leeve and hand
tighten. (Fig. 3)
Centering the Base Plate and
the “Quick Change Guide System”
1. With your router upside down, plunge the base
plate and lock it.
2. Insert the 1/4" Centering Pin [R-4] in the router
chuck and tighten it securely.
3. Loosen the mounting screws of the base plate
just enough to allow a little movement.
(Fig. 4)
4. Carefully release the plunge lock and gently
guide the plunge base to extension on the cone
section of the Centering Pin; (Fig. 5) this allows
the loosened base plate to move on its screw
holes to a perfect centering position.
5. Tighten the base plate screws securely.

• Once you have completed this centering
operation, remove the Centering Pin from the
router and replace it with the router bit (Fig. 6).
Setting the Cutting Depth
• Set the depth of your plunge router for the desired depth of your mortise and tenon.
• When the stock is correctly mounted in the jig, its top edge will be 1/2" below the top (working)
surface of the jig (Fig.7a).
• Accordingly, add 1/2" to the desired depth of the mortise and tenon when setting the “plunge”
depth of the router (Fig.7b).
MOUNTING THE IG
The M&T ig can be mounted directly on the edge of a bench using the integral mounting flange [9]
(Fig. 8A), or secured to a mounting board which can then be clamped to a bench (Fig. 8B).

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Marking Joint Centers and Location
Mark the stock with center marks at the positions for the length of the tenon and the mortise.
These marks will be needed to center the tenon and the longitudinal position of the mortise on the
stock. If you have correctly set the Centering Wall for the thickness of the stock, the stock will
automatically be centered** for stock thickness when clamped in the jig.
**Tip: if there is a variation in the thickness of the stock used, you may adjust for this by use of
appropriate shims or by readjusting the Centering Bar.
2. Centering the Stock
• Centering the stock in the jig is
accomplished by adjusting the
Centering Wall [4] (Fig.10) for
the thickness of the stock.
• The jig will handle stock with
a thickness between 1/2" and
1-1/2".
• Using the lumber industry’s
nomenclature, these two
thicknesses, designated as,
“2 quarter” (1/2") and
“6 quarter” (1-1/2"), indicating
the number of 1/4" increments of thickness.
• The markings are on the tenon end of the Centering Wall [4A]. Use these “quarter” units to adjust
for the thickness of your stock in “quarters”. For example: if you are using 3/4" (three quarter)
stock, align the number “3” with the inner wall of the jig (Fig. 11), and the stock will be at its
nominal center in the templates.
• When adjusting the Centering Wall, and to maintain parallel
alignment, always make sure the bar is correctly seated
on the jig body with its serrated matching surface
[4B] (Fig.11) in the jig.
Tips: to assure an accurate joint
alignment, particularly if you are making
a Face Frame or similar matching
surface type joint, always keep the
matching faces to the same side of the jig.

3. Positioning the Stock Using the Positioning Bars
When in the deployed position (Fig 12), the Positioning Bars serve two basic purposes:
1. Then position the stock at the correct depth below the underside of the template for routing
2. Then align the stock so it is squared, at 90 degrees, to the jig longitudinally
The Positioning Bars [Fig 12 and 13] are stored along
the inside edge of the underside of the jig’s top when
routing.
1. To extend the bars, use the Positioning Bar handles
[6A], located under the outside top edge.
2. After you fully deploy the Positioning Bars, you’re
ready to place the stock in the jig. Insert the stock
gently up against the deployed Positioning Bars
(Fig. 14) and tighten the Thumb crews [5] just
enough so the stock is held loosely by the
Face Clamps [7].
3. Center the stock longitudinally using the jig’s Centering Marks [1A] on the jig (Fig. 15). Before
tightening the Face Clamps, be sure the stock is flat and square against the Positioning Bars
(but not too tight), and correctly centered.
4. Tighten the Face Clamps, enough to secure the stock from moving.
5. Using their handles, return the Positioning Bars to their storage position (Fig15).

4. Setting the Joint Length
The M&T jig has two working sections, the mortise section and the tenon section (Fig. 16).
Both the mortise section and the tenon section of the jig are equipped with left and right
Adjustable Sliding Templates [#2 & #3] (Fig.16) that are used to set the length of the joint. Visible
are the numbers 1, 2 and 3 along with associated ruled markings on each template’s edge [2B].
To adjust the templates for the desired joint length, loosen the Lock Screws [2C] on the right
and left templates on both sides of each joint and slide them to the desired opening indication (as
referred to in the chart based on your bit diameter). All four (4) sliding templates should be at the
same setting. Re-tighten the screws.
The numbers 1, 2 and 3 on the adjustable sliding templates directly correlate to the 3/8" bit
reference in the chart that follows. For example, if you set the template positions to #2 you will
create a 2" long joint. Set the templates to #1 and you’ll create a 1" long joint.
If you’re using a 1/4" or 1/2" diameter bit, refer to the settings in the chart for the actual size of the
joint at these same markings. The chart compensates for the difference in bushing size and bit
diameter from a 3/8" bit. For example, using a 1/4" bit with the templates positioned at #2 would
produce a joint that is 1-7/8" long. Similarly, using a 1/2" bit with the templates at the #2 position
would produce a 2-1/8" long joint.
otes:
1. The chart below indicates the exact length of each joint for each marking on the
template and for each bit size.
2. When you set the size of the opening, make sure that ALL of the templates indicate
the same measurement; this assures that both the mortise and the tenon will be the
same size. (Fig. 16)

TIP: It may be advisable to size the mortise slightly longer than the tenon (or the tenon slightly
shorter than the mortise) for ease of insertion, adjustment and gluing.
The Alignment Tool (Fig. 18) is used to help center
the uncut wood in the jig. Before securing the
wood in the jig, place the Alignment Tool as
shown and align it with the Centering Marks [1A]
on the jig (Fig19).
The Alignment Tool can also be used to more
accurately align the Adjustable Sliding Templates
[#2 &#3] to the Template Positioning Indicators
[1C].
Fig. 18
Fig. 19
Both the tenon and mortise sections have has two Centering Marks [1A] (Fig. 17) which indicate
the longitudinal center of the templates. There are also Centering Notches [1B] on the deployed
Positioning Bars [6]; they indicate the center of the template’s width.
5. Set the Depth of the Router Bit ( ee also “ etting the Cutting Depth” on page 6)
To set the “plunge” depth of the router (Fig. 20) and subsequently the cutting depth of the bit,
remember to add 1/2" to the desired depth of the joint. Therefore, if you’re setting the joint depth
to be 1" then your measurement would be a total of 1-1/2" from the face of the base plate to the
tip of the bit.

6. Routing the Tenon
When routing the tenon, make sure the
Guide Bushing [R-3] only rides against
the outer edges of the tenon template [3]
(Fig. 21) at all times.
1. Start the cut by putting the guide
bushing into the end of the template.
2. With the Guide Bushing in the end of
the template and the router base
squarely on the jig surface, turn the
router on.
3. Plunge the router to a workable depth
and guide the router bit clockwise
through the cutting process making
sure to keep the Guide Bushing tight
to the outer edge at all times.
OTE: You can make successive
plunges to any depth while moving the
Guide Bushing clockwise around the
tenon template always riding against
the edge to make the cleanest joint
possible. We recommend making
successive shallow plunges and cutting
sweeps to avoid over stressing the
cutting bit. (Fig. 21 & 22)
Caution: before retracting the router bit
from the cut, be sure to turn the router
off.
Tip: depending on the actual thickness
of your stock, you may at times get a
“fence” or “flash” around the edge of
your tenon (Fig 23). Be sure to cut, file or
sand it off cleanly to ensure a tight fit.

7. Routing the Mortise
Tip: when routing the mortise, it is advisable to increase the depth of cut slightly more than that of
the tenon to allow space for glue to be put on the tenon before inserting it into the mortise.
The Guide Bushing [R-3] fits the Mortise Template [2] (Fig. 24) exactly to prevent it from wandering
out of line. It will be used for all mortises regardless of size.
1. Before turning on the router, place the Guide Bushing in the end of the mortise template and
slide it through the template to be sure it moves freely. (Fig. 25)
2. With the Guide Bushing in the end of the template and the router base squarely on the jig
surface, turn the router on.
3. Plunge the router and guide the router bit through the cutting process.
OTE: We recommend cutting the mortise in successive overlapping plunges to depth and
then repeatedly move the bit back and forth to clean up the mortise slot.

PREPARANDO LA FRESADORA
I FORMACIO GE ERAL DE SEGURIDAD
1. CONOZCA SU FRESADORA. Previo a utilizarla, lea el manual incluido con su fresadora.
Antes de utilizar, entienda las aplicaciones y limitaciones de la máquina, así como los riesgos
específicos potenciales inherentes en su uso. Verifique que ninguna pieza esté quebrada, floja o
desalineada.
OTA: General Tools & Instruments no se hace responsable por el mal uso o por hacer caso omiso
de las normas de precaución de seguridad asociadas con el uso de la fresadora.
I STALA DO EL MA GUITO DE GUÍA
“CAMBIO RÁPIDO”
La E Z Pro Plantilla de Mortaja y Espiga está
diseñada para utilizarse con fresadoras de
superficie con placas de base con agujero central
de 1-3/16" y un contra-taladro de 1-3/8". Esto es
para acomodar el “Cambio Rápido” manguito de
guía y broca incluidos. Si su base para fresadora
no se ajusta con el manguito de guía, usted deberá
comprar una “Placa Universal de Fresadora” con
las dimensiones apropiadas del agujero central
para adjuntar o reemplazar a la base de su
fresadora.
Con la placa de base apropiada instalada, realice
lo siguiente:
1. Inserte el Manguito de Guía [R-2] dentro de la
placa de base.
2. Asegure firmemente la tuerca de retención [R-1]
con la llave plana de tuerca proporcionada.
3. Atornille la guía de cojinete de la fresadora de
1-1/8" [R-3] dentro del centro del Manguito de
Guía y apriételo manualmente. (Figura 3)
CE TRA DO LA PLACA DE BASE Y
EL “SISTEMA DE GUÍA DE CAMBIO
RÁPIDO”
1. Coloque su fresadora cabeza abajo, descienda
la placa de base y ciérrela.
2. Inserte el perno de centrado de 1/4" [R-4] en el
cabezal giratorio y apriete firmemente.
3. Afloje sólo lo necesario los tornillos de montaje
en la placa de base, para permitir pequeños
movimientos (Figura 4).
4. Suelte cuidadosamente el tornillo de cierre y
guíe cuidadosamente la base para que se
extienda en la sección cónica del perno de
centrado; (Figura 5); esto permite que la placa
de base floja, se mueva en los agujeros de sus
tornillos para una perfecta posición de centrado.
5. Apriete firmemente los tornillos de la placa de
base.

Una vez completada la operación de centrado,
remueva el perno de centrado de la fresadora
y reemplace con la broca buriladora
(Figura 6).
Fijando la profundidad del Corte
• Fije la profundidad de su fresadora de superficie para obtener la profundidad deseada de su
mortaja y espiga.
• Cuando la pieza esté correctamente montada en la plantilla, su orilla superior estará 1/2" debajo
la superficie superior (de trabajo) de la plantilla (Figura 7A)
• Por consiguiente, aumente 1/2" a la profundidad deseada de la mortaja y espiga cuando fije la
profundidad “descendiente” de la fresadora (Figura 7B)
MONTANDO LA PLANTILLA
La Plantilla de Mortaja y Espiga puede montarse directamente al borde de un banco de trabajo
utilizando la pestaña de montaje integral [9] (Figura 8A) o asegurarla a un tablero de montaje, y
fijarse a un banco de trabajo (Figura 8B).
