INCRA Build-It STS Mortiser Manual
Slide the STS Mortiser forward until the cutting wing on the cutter contacts the infeed faceplate stop. Now clamp a block of
3 / 4 ” scrap wood into the miter slot against the outfeed end of the Miter Slider, Fig. 19. This will set the forward or outfeed
travel limit. Now pull the jig back until the cutter contacts the outfeed faceplate stop and clamp a block of 3 / 4 ” scrap into
the miter slot against the infeed end of the Miter Slider, Fig 20. This sets the rearward or infeed travel limit.

Now, we need to locate the slot on your workpiece. To
begin we’ll set the distance from the end of the slot to the
end of your board. Simply slide either the infeed or outfeed
faceplate stop away from its current position the distance
you choose. For instance if you wanted to start the slot 1” from the end of your workpiece (after setting a 2” length of
slot), slide the outfeed faceplate stop to read 6” and tighten
the clamping knob,
Fig. 22.
Remove the remaining faceplate stop.
