General guidelines for cutting worktop joints...
Always ensure that you are cutting from the correct face and into the postform (rounded) edge of the
worktop. When cutting, the direction of rotation of the cutter (i.e. clockwise) will cut cleanly into the left
hand side of the cut, but will tear the face off of the right hand side. Therefore the waste portion of the
worktop must always be on the right hand side.
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. This will
leave a straight square edge to align the jig stops against.
Remember always cut into the post-form edge, never out of it.
Always fit soft packing under the clamp heads when clamping against the laminate face of the worktop.
When possible always leave the worktop over-length to allow the joint to be re-cut if incorrectly cut the
first time.
