Hi Guys , thanks for all the advice, i had a careful look at all the angles, and i think the jig must have slipped or the clamp got in the way of the router.. So this is how it was and now recut. with a bit of colur fill and clampiing it should all be good. many thanks A

Many thanks for all your suggestions. Im going to go home, take a long hard look at it, maybe get the sand paper out, see if i adjust the angle slightly, and then probably end up re cutting it! thanks for the video links, watched them all. I agree liberal use of the hammer..

Okay, the red line is where my gap starts, and it runs all the way to the back of the worktop, and the gap is even all the way across the worktop. except where it joins at the front which it fits nicely. any clearer? :oops: A

Thanks for the tips on squaring the cutter and bush, will check that when i get home. As for it being out of sqaure, the wall is everso slightly oblique, so am hoping the flat (straight ) bit of the cut is not 90 degrees. Will take some pic and upload tonight.

Nope, Its like when the postformed edge is nicely together you can get a penny down the join on the top bit of the worktop. So on the picture its the back section of the visible scribed line that has the gap. A

No i mean the top surface. Sorry difficult to explain without photos.

The bush is a 30mm, at the flange, but there is a slight taper to 29.5 at the very front edge. i realise it will be 0.25mm error but i think i can live with that amount of misalignment. Not sure how i would centre the bush, just screwed it in the holes. Its a a cheapo mcalister router but it...

Its a but and scribe joint. and the one in the pic looks perfect. When my internal edges meet perfectly, there is a 1mm gap, on the straight bit on the top of the worktop. if it push the male piece back that gap disappears, but i then end up with a gap on the leading edge where i can see the...

the 1mm gap, is in the mitre. The worktop is gold old nasty chipboard with formica top. I will get some pics uploaded when i get home. A

Hi, I am not sure if i have explained myself properly. I have upstands on the back so am happy to have a gap here. However i cant adjust the worktop so the fronts align and there is no gap on the top bit of the work top. If it is really 599mm should i get it all square using the lugs, mark...

smaller amounts of twist on a wider door is more noticable than a narrower door. However if a door wants to twist its very difficult to stop it.

Hi all, (newbie post) I am a bit of a novice, but fitting my new kitchen. My main issue is the worktop and the mitre. I bought one of those mini trend jigs, and have cut both the male and female ends. however when i push it together i have a 1mm gap in the long straight bit if i get the...
