FRAME ROUTING

NB: If routing the door by hand, we recommend using Simonswerk universal
milling frame (5 250930 0 00001), and Samuel Heath routing jig (R91-xx)
• Assemble the milling frame (A) to the door frame (B) as shown ensuring that the
rail is set to 42mm and the angle is set to 37mm.
• If CNC milling the frame (A), please refer to the dimensioned drawing for the
finished sizes required in the front of this booklet. (Fig 2.3 & 2.4)
• Once assembled, mark the position on the frame using centre punch (D).

 
• Assemble R91-xx template (D) to the
universal milling frame (A) ensuring
the label is facing up, and that the
“Hole 1” in the template (D) goes over
the peg on the universal milling frame
(A).
• Using a router with a 30mm guide
bush and a Ø24mm router bit, mill the
10mm deep pocket in the frame using
the template as a guide.


• To make the smaller deeper pocket in the frame, move the template (D) so that
“Hole 2” locates on the peg of the universal milling frame (A).
• Using a router with a 30mm guide bush and a Ø24mm router bit, mill the
deeper pocket to a finished depth of 35mm, using the template (D) as a guide.
