FITTING AND TROUBLESHOOTING

For joints that are too loose, adjust your router to make a deeper cut. (Measure the gap (A) Fig. Q10 in the test cut and adjust the router for that amount).

For joints that are too tight, adjust your router to make a more shallow cut.

Once you achieve the correct depth, secure the router bit depth guide in place with a 3/8" wrench. If the drawer front overlaps the drawer side, reposition the template toward you (Fig. Q11).

If the drawer front is recessed from the edge of the drawer side (Fig. Q12), reposition the template away from you.
