Stock preparation
- Cut all pieces for box to the exact dimensions. Make sure ends are perfectly square and exact width. For
optimum width see table.
- Label the pieces as shown in illustration I1 & I2. Mark faces as inside and out.
- X parts will be clamped under front clamp bar and routed first with dovetail bit.
- Y parts will be clamped under front clamp bar and routed with straight bit.
- Ensure all pieces are clamped with the inside faces towards you. (Away the jig )
- Before joining the actual workpiece make a trial cut in waste scrap pieces.
- Prepare through dovetail scrap piece. Scrap piece must be ¼”thicker than the workpiece. The waste piece
reduces likelihood of breakout. Ilustration I3
