Thread: Corner jig.

I'd like to know what this is about but I'm totally confused by what you are showing us. How does the workpiece fit in the jig, what are the 'cam locks' and what are the two pieces of timber in the last photo?

Cheers

I've made similar but only for one corner; I'd just move it from one to the other.

I'd like to see the wooden camlocks in use; I just use double sided tape on mine and cut really carefully, plus the wooden registration edges stick out several inches past the template so there is always plenty to hold on tight to and far enough away from the bit.

I've also made them reversed too so it takes a decorative scallop from a corner, but you really really need to rough them out first!

Ok maybe a better explanation.
first make a template of the curve needed. I use 18mm mdf as I have heaps of it from other projects. Then attach edging so template fits over edge of work piece. I screw and glue 8 or 10mm hardwood. As I use templates on a variety of timber widths from 32mm upwards I made template 100mm wide I then use another piece of timber of sufficient width to make upto 98 mm and cut a diagonal on this to make a cam allowing me to lock the template onto workpiece fingers are thensafely away from cutter.

Very neat.
Thanks for the clarification.
