4. Setup
Proper setup is crucial for achieving accurate and clean cuts. Follow these steps carefully:
- Ipprepara Żona tax-Xogħol: Ensure your worktop and surrounding area are clean, stable, and well-lit.
- Iġbor Għodod: You will need a router, a 12.7mm (1/2 inch) router cutter, a 30mm guide bush, and appropriate clamps to secure the jig.

- Multiple Passes (if necessary): For thicker materials, it may be beneficial to make multiple shallow passes rather than one deep cut to reduce strain on the router and cutter, and to achieve a cleaner finish.
- Imla l-Qatgħa: Continue routing until the entire joint profile is cut. Ensure all waste material is removed.
- Switch Off and Remove: Once the cut is complete, switch off the router and wait for the cutter to stop rotating before lifting it from the jig.
