• Once you have completed this centering
operation, remove the Centering Pin from the
router and replace it with the router bit (Fig. 6).
Setting the Cutting Depth
• Set the depth of your plunge router for the desired depth of your mortise and tenon.
• When the stock is correctly mounted in the jig, its top edge will be 1/2" below the top (working)
surface of the jig (Fig.7a).
• Accordingly, add 1/2" to the desired depth of the mortise and tenon when setting the “plunge”
depth of the router (Fig.7b).
MOUNTING THE JIG
The M&T Jig can be mounted directly on the edge of a bench using the integral mounting flange [9]
(Fig. 8A), or secured to a mounting board which can then be clamped to a bench (Fig. 8B).
