4. Carefully slide your jig platform out of the miter slots.
The Miter Sliders should be firmly attached. Remove the
dimes from your miter slots. Flip the base panel over and
mark the drill center locations for mounting holes through
the threaded holes in the Miter Sliders, Fig. 5. Place a mark
on each side of the bar at the expansion screw locations to
aid in later locating and drilling access holes, Detail 5A.
After marking your panel, pull the Miters Sliders off and
remove the double-sided tape.
5. Mounting hardware includes 3 ea #10-24 x 1/2” Phillips
machine screws and washers. These will be used to secure
the Miter Slider to your jig base. (The additional 3/4” screws
are for mounting to Build-It Panels as described on page 4.)
On jig bases less than 15” long, only two mounting screws
need to be used. Jig bases longer than 15” should use a
mounting screw in the first hole, the last hole, and one of the
interior holes, Fig. 6.
6. Drill a 1/4” hole at each of the selected locations.
Counterbore each mounting hole from the top of the panel
with a 5/8” Forstner bit. The depth of the counterbore is
1/4”. Note: If you are using a 3/4” panel, make the counter-
bore 1/2” deep, or use longer mounting screws. It is not
necessary to counterbore the expansion screw access
locations, Fig. 7.
7. Mount the Miter Sliders to your jig platform using the
included hardware. Before tightening the fasteners, slide
the Miter Sliders back into your miter slot and square the
edge of the base panel with the saw blade, Fig. 8. Securely
tighten the fasteners.

Tip: Adjusting your jig
The drill and counterbore dimensions are slightly oversized to allow
some adjustment of the jig’s angle later on. By loosening the mounting
fasteners and twisting the jig platform, you can change the angle by ± 2°.
Be sure to always re-tighten the mounting screws before using your jig.

jig unique for the cutting situations in your shop, from bridges
and fences to T-Tracks, hold downs and toggle clamps, Fig. 9.
