    are provided for this adjustment. 1/2" Guide Block

    2. Dry fit parts together and draw a crisp, thin line across 3/8" Guide Block
    the center of the joint where tenon is desired.
    See Fig. 1. Disassemble parts.
    1/4" Guide Block
    3. Slide guide block to “A” setting. Locate beadLOCK jig Upper slot is used for 1/4" Block
    on part and align the jig with your
    center line. Clamp jig in place. See Fig. 2. Tip: Your Middle slot is used for 3/8" Block

    depth of both parts and glue together.

    Tips for Best Results


    Fig.1
    • A slower feed rate on “B” setting will yield
    cleaner mortises.
    • For a cleaner mortise, drillholes in position “A” a
    second time before unclamping the jig. This will
    remove any remaining wood chips. Setting “A”

    • Coat both tenon and mortise with glue prior to


    assembly for maximum strength.
    • On large, assemblies, glue the loose tenon into
    one piece of stock first. This will reduce the num-
    ber of parts handled when gluing up.
    • Use sharp, conventional twist drill bits for best Align to
    results. Dull or improperly sharpened bits may center line
    drill oversized mortise.
    Fig. 2
    • Store tenon stock in an air tight container to
    prevent expansion.
    • For very thick parts, make your own shims out of
    scrap wood or plywood.
