1.Begin with the Joiner base cutting into the end of the wood, rather than the face as illustrated below.

Figure 11

2.If possible, lay the workpieces as they will be joined together and mark a center line across the join to mark the center of cut to be made.

3.Otherwise, mark the center line of each cut individually.

4.Adjust the fences to the angle and depth needed to make the cut (See Tool Set Up section). Align center line on face plate with the pencil mark on wood then make the cut.
