slot. Clamp the plywood jig to the miter gauge and test the jig with a couple of pieces of scrap the same thickness as your workpiece and 1 V» inches wide.

To start the joint, butt the board against the key and while holding it firmly against the miter gauge, run it over the dado head (Fig. 7A). After the first slot is cut, position the workpiece with the slot over the key and cut another slot (Fig. 7B). If you were working a wide piece you would continue by placing each successive slot over the key.

This test piece starts out with a pin and because of its width, gets two slots and ends with a pin. To cut the mating piece (which will start and end with a slot), place the first board against the jig with the first slot you cut positioned over the key. Butt the second board firmly against the first and cut the first slot (Fig. 8). The remaining slots are cut by again moving the board and setting each slot over the key, just as you

did for the first board.

The joint should go together with a slip fit. If it's too tight, the addition of glue will make it even more difficult to get together. In this case, loosen the clamp and shift the jig so that the key is closer to the blade to cut a thinner pin. If the test joint is too loose, move the key away from the blade.

When you are satisfied with the jig, hold it with a clamp and use two round head screws to fasten it to the miter gauge. Most gauges have slots or holes for such purposes. If your gauge lacks these, you will have to drill two V* inch holes to take the screws. The jig must not be moved while fastening it to the miter gauge, otherwise it will be inaccurate. You may have some difficulty in getting the jig just right the first few times....or you may be lucky and get it "right on the money" the first time. Be sure to glue the key into the slot.

This jig will be good only for cutting (Continued on page 25)
