OPTIOnAL CMT300-T129 And CMT300-T190 TeMPLATe
For the machining the wood components, a piece of scrap stock necessary for the machining (which will later
be thrown away) that is 5mm thicker than the piece to be machined must be placed horizontally.
This scrap stock is a piece of wood required to hold the vertical part to be machined steady.
Wood to be
machined
Scrap stock
Positioning the wood parts and machining:
1) Place the wood part X1 vertically against the small positioning buffer and clamp the bar sufficiently to
ensure it does not slip.
2) Place the scrap stock horizontally and push it against the vertical piece.
3) Match the ends of the two pieces of wood.
4) Tighten the clamping bar of the vertical part completely.
5) Tighten the clamping bar of the horizontal part completely.
6) Place the template on its second (dovetail) side and check in the small hole in the template that the two
pieces are well matched.
7) Turn the template on to the first side (with the straight slots). Make certain to use the correct guide ring
and the CMT dovetail bit.
8) Move up to and away from the workpiece from the front - not from above - to avoid the risk of missing
the guide.
9) Position the router and follow the profile of the template to carry out the machining.
10) The first assembly is finished - repeat the previous procedure to make all X-axis cuts.
11) Remove the template and leave the scrap stock in place.
12) Place the wood part (Y1) vertically against the small positioning buffer and clamp the bar sufficiently to
ensure it does not slip.
13) Match the ends of the two pieces of wood.
14) Tighten the clamping bar of the vertical part completely.
17) Turn the template on to the second (dovetail) side. Make certain to use the correct guide ring and the
CMT straight bit.
16) Move up to and away from the workpiece from the front - not from above - to avoid the risk of missing
the guide.
17) Position the router and follow the profile of the template to carry out the machining.
18) The first assembly is finished - repeat the previous procedure for the rest of the joints to be made.
The following page has some illustrations that help to better understand the stages described above.
