- Drilling the First Hole: Insert the 1/4 Inch drill bit into one of the guide bushings. Begin drilling slowly, then increase speed, applying steady pressure. Allow the stop collar to contact the bushing to ensure consistent depth. Withdraw the drill bit cleanly.
- Indexing for Subsequent Holes: For multiple, evenly spaced holes, insert the stainless steel indexing pin into the previously drilled hole. Slide the jig along the workpiece until the indexing pin engages with the next guide bushing. This ensures accurate spacing.
- Drilling Remaining Holes: Erġa' clamp the jig if necessary and drill the next hole. Repeat the indexing and drilling process until all required holes are complete.
- Mating Workpieces: Once holes are drilled in both mating workpieces, apply wood glue and insert dowels. Assemble the joint, ensuring proper alignment and clamping until the glue cures.
7. Manutenzjoni
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and accuracy of your dowelling jig kit:
- Tindif: After each use, wipe down the jig components with a clean, dry cloth to remove sawdust and debris. For stubborn residue, a mild solvent can be used, ensuring it does not damage the finish.
- Lubrikazzjoni: Periodically apply a light coat of machine oil or wax to moving parts and stainless steel surfaces to prevent corrosion and ensure smooth operation. Avoid lubricating the guide bushings internally, as this can attract sawdust.
- Ħażna: Store the jig and its components in a dry, clean environment. Keep all parts together to prevent loss.
- Spezzjoni: Regularly inspect the guide bushings for wear or damage. Worn bushings can lead to inaccurate holes. Replace any damaged components immediately.
