Hello to all ,
i am using a trend mortice and tenon jig to cut mortice and tenons for framework. I have cut all the mortices first, due to the length of the tenons i have had to cut them in two stages (cut first stage and then lower the router cutter for the second stage which is a deeper cut).
I have cut the first stage on all the tenons, and i have cut the second stage on about half the tenons.
I went to my mates workshop today to finish the second stage on the remaining tenons. Unfortunately my mates farther had been in the workshop after i left yesterday and he was fiddling with the jig, now i cant get the jig to line up exactly with the tenons. It seems no matter how hard i try i can only get the jig to line up with three sides of the tenon leaving a lip on the remaining tenon side.
Does anyone have any advice on getting the trend jig to line up exactly again?
also
If i cant get the jig to line up exactly again, do you think it would be ok to just remove the lip with a sharp chisel on the tenon side that wont line up, and then just fill the resulting gap in the m and t joint with wood glue?
sorry about the war and peace posting.
Hope you can help .
