4. Carefully slide your jig platform out of the miter slots.

The Miter Sliders should be firmly attached. Remove the

dimes from your miter slots. Flip the base panel over and

mark the drill center locations for mounting holes through

the threaded holes in the Miter Sliders,

Fig. 5. Place a mark

on each side of the bar at the expansion screw locations to

aid in later locating and drilling access holes,

Detail 5A.

After marking your panel, pull the Miters Sliders off and

remove the double-sided tape.
5. Mounting hardware includes 3 ea #10-24 x 1/2” Phillips

machine screws and washers. These will be used to secure

the Miter Slider to your jig base. (The additional 3/4” screws

are for mounting to Build-It Panels as described on page 4.)

On jig bases less than 15” long, only two mounting screws

need to be used. Jig bases longer than 15” should use a

mounting screw in the first hole, the last hole, and one of the

interior holes,

Fig. 6.

6. Drill a 1/4” hole at each of the selected locations.

Counterbore each mounting hole from the top of the panel

with a 5/8” Forstner bit. The depth of the counterbore is

1/4”. Note: If you are using a 3/4” panel, make the counter-

bore 1/2” deep, or use longer mounting screws. It is not

necessary to counterbore the expansion screw access

locations,

Fig. 7.

7. Mount the Miter Sliders to your jig platform using the

included hardware. Before tightening the fasteners, slide

the Miter Sliders back into your miter slot and square the

edge of the base panel with the saw blade,

Fig. 8. Securely

tighten the fasteners.

Tip: Adjusting your jig

The drill and counterbore dimensions are slightly oversized to allow

some adjustment of the jig’s angle later on. By loosening the mounting

fasteners and twisting the jig platform, you can change the angle by ± 2°.

Be sure to always re-tighten the mounting screws before using your jig.
