SLOT CUTTER WITH THICKNESS 4 mm
or a biscuit jointer can be used for lamella joints (call for our current offer of Biscuit jointers)
Tightening clamps
to fix the jig to the workpiece, we recommend the clamps series M980 from our offer.
Assembling of FK
The whole system of the FK jig is based on the use of three steel stops, which are inserted into various holes
in order to attain the precise manufacture of the outer and inner part of the joint. The holes for the steel stops
are indicated with letters (fig. 1).
A
... TWO HOLES – outer part of 45° joint
B
... TWO HOLES – outer part of 90° joint
C
... FOUR HOLES – inner part of 90° and 45° joint
D
... FOUR HOLES – fixing holes for clumps
E
... THREE HOLES – radius finishing of corners (R 8,2)
F
... TWO HOLES – 45° finishing of corners
G
... ONE HOLE – inner part of 45° joint
H
... ONE HOLE – inner part of 90° joint (worktop 600 mm)
The steel stops are furnished with rubber rings which prevent the stops from dropping out of the holes. Place
the metal stop into the hole using the pin with the rubber ring, so that it is completely inserted. If the metal
stops are difficult to insert, lubricate the rubber rings with oil. Before using always ensure that the stops are
completely inserted into the holes. Before using check that the stops are not leaning against the work table.
Setting of cutting axis and copying edge
The cutting line is always shifted by 9 mm (FK650) resp.8,5 mm (FK651) from
the copying edge of the jig upon use of a guide bush dia.30 mm and a router
bit dia.12 mm (FK650) resp. 12,7 mm (FK651) (fig. 5). To obtain a precise joint
don't use resharpened tool (diminution of cutting diameter).
Cutting of 90° joints
The working procedure is demonstrated on a right-handed 90° joint (fig. 4)
- Always cut the joint so that the metal stops touch the postform edges of the kitchen worktop.
- Always shape in the direction towards the postform edge and out, never the opposite way. This procedure
attains a perfect joint.
- Should remains of the paper base be left on the underside of the kitchen worktop after the routing, remove
them with sandpaper.
- Don't remove the tool from the jig groove until the tool is completely stopped after routing, you prevent the
tool damage.

Cutting of inner part of joint, worktop width 500-550- 600-616 and 650 mm
Insert two metal stops into the C holes and according to your worktop width one into the respective H hole
from the underside of the jig. The numbers at the letter H are for the worktop width. Place FK on the kitchen
worktop F1 from the facing side (fig. 8).
