It's often a good idea to leave the factory wrapping in place, to stop any accidental marking. This is done with the worktop laminated surface uppermost and the post-formed (rolled) edge facing towards you. Real jigs are not transparent! I tend to cut the female part of the joint first. In my drawings, the jig has a slight transparency, again for clarity. The following example will feature a 90° Left Hand joint. The diagrams opposite show the terms used in identifying the joint to be cut. The numbered holes are used in certain parts of the operation to select the correct worktop width (in millimetres). Jig markings may differ - I've used these letters for clarity. Worktop jigs and accessories are available from Howdens Joinery. If spare sets of pins are available - get some! The holes marked 'F' are for use when cutting female joints, those marked 'M' for use when cutting male joints and those marked 'C' are for use when cutting the butterfly bolt slots (used to insert mechanical fasteners from below).Ĭurved worktop jigs are available from Howdens Joinery. The jig is made to be used from both sides and has a variety of holes drilled into it to accept pins. Here's an example of a typical worktop jig. Howdens Worktop Jig Manual 3,6/5 6618 votes
