Cutting Out Of Square Joints - CMT ORANGE TOOLS CMT650 Manuel D'utilisation

Cutting out of square joints...

Cutting 45-degree worktop joints...
To cut 45-degree corner joints on worktops, use the 22.5 mm angled end of the CMT650 jig.
As with 90-degree worktop joints, for 45-degree joints the worktop must be cut with the correct
face upwards depending on whether it is a right or left-hand end or female or male joint edge.
The first step when cutting 45-degree joints is to carefully set out and cut the 45-degree angle on the
relative end of the worktop (leave the worktop over length if possible to allow joint to be re-cut if incor-
rect). When cutting worktops to length etc, use a jigsaw to cut away much of the waste to within 3mm
of the required cut line and then trim the cut edge with the router guided against the edge of the jig
or a straight edge. This will leave a straight square edge to align the jig stops against.
Cutting the female edge (See Fig C):
Insert two stops into holes C and one into hole G. Position the jig on the worktop with the G stop
against the front edge and the C stops against the angled cut edge. Make the cut with the router fol-
lowing the same procedure as for 90-degree joints.
Cutting the male edge (See Fig D):
Insert the stops into holes A, hold them tight against the front edge of the worktop and clamp the jig
firmly. Make the cut with the router following the same procedure as for 90-degree joints.
