Woodhaven 8589: T-Strike Plate Jig - Manual

ASSEMBLY
Identify and verify that you have all the parts listed.
Read the instructions at least once before beginning.
Cut a wood fence approximately 3/4" thick, 1-1/4"
wide and approximately 12" long. Drill two 1/8" pilot
holes in the edge of the wood fence 4-5/8" on center.
Mount the 3/4" thick edge of the wood fence to the
slots in the Strike Plate Jig (See fig. 1) using the 3/16"
Washers (WB001) and 3/4" Screws (STP001).
Place the 1/4" Spacers (BUSH002) on the 1/2"
Thumb Screws (5503) and screw them in to the two
holes of the Strike Plate Jig shown. The remaining two
holes in the Strike Plate Jig are for storing the thumb
screws & spacers when not needed. See fig. 2.
Cut and place a 1/4" thick x 6" long spacer between
the spacers and the wood fence. The width of the spacer
will determine the position of the strike plate on the
jamb. The spacer also insures that the wood fence is
square and parallel on the Strike Plate Jig. See fig. 2.
USING THE JIG ON A JAMB WITHOUT A STOP
Mark the strike plate location on the jamb. The Strike Plate
Jig opening is 1/8" wider (1/16" on each side) then the actual
strike plate opening it cuts. Position the Strike Plate Jig opening
so it's edges are 1/16" from the strike plate location marks, or
make the strike plate marks 1/8" further apart to correspond
to the actual opening in the Strike Plate Jig. Clamp the Strike
Plate Jig to the jamb using the wood fence and two clamps.
Install our 8500 Hinge Bit (1/2" diameter with a
5/8" bearing), or a 1/2" bit (13416) and 5/8" bushing
(5030K), in your router. If using the 8500 Hinge Bit,
make sure the bearing rides firmly on the edge of the jig
before attempting any cuts. Since the cutting depth for
locks is shallow (usually 1/8" or less), either a standard
or plunge router will work. Set the cutting depth of the
bit, taking into account the thickness of the jig.

Plunge or tilt the router bit into the approximate center
of the jig opening, moving in a small clockwise circle as
you do so to cut a relief opening. With the router base riding
firmly on the jig, move towards an edge of the jig opening.
Moving clockwise, follow the jig until the outline has been
cut. Make clean up passes to remove any remaining material.
After making the first cut, the wood fence will have a
cut out area that corresponds to the strike plate shape and you
can use this cut out area to position the jig on the next part.
