sawdust from interfering with the accuracy of your setup. I found that as sawdust builds up around the stops, it prevents the parts from making full contact. This, in turn, keeps you from positioning the parts correctly. The chamfers give the sawdust somewhere to go. You will still have to brush the dust away from time to time, but you don't have to get every little particle. On the clamps, a compression spring around the mounting bolt automatically raises the clamp when you loosen the knob. A hex bolt threaded into a T-nut at the back of the clamp prevents the assembly from tipping when you apply pressure. Make as many clamps and stops as you think you'll need. I made just three clamps and four stops, which I've found to be ad equate for the work I do. But if you think you'll need more, now is the time to make them. As another option (if you've got a few extra dollars) there are a couple of hold-down clamps available from catalogs that will also work very well when attached to the Joint Maker (see "Some Store-bought Options to Improve the Joint Maker" on page 82 for more information). Final Assembly, Finishing Give all the wooden surfaces a light sanding, then apply a durable finish to all parts of the Joint Maker: the router mount, carriage, cross slide, clamps and stops. Apply a thin coat to all exposed surfaces, then rub down those surfaces that will slide together (such as the back and the router mount, or the top and the cross slide) with steel wool or fine Countersunk pilot hole for #12 x 11/2"-long flathead wood screw 12"
