skill Builder one side of the jig to keep it square.Then set the router sled on top of the jig so the bit is over the exposed edge of the workpiece. Now turn the router on, and slowly slide the sled down the jig, and then back up. Repeat this process across the entire width of the workpiece (see Frg. l).When you reach the opposite edge of the workpiece, the bit will actually cut into the side of the jig, but that's okay. You need to do this to completely clean up the edge. Finish the Cut - When you're finished, unclamp the workpiece, and slide it closer to the end of the jig (about half the distance).Then reclamp it, and repeat the process. The bit will cut deeper this tirne, creating a larger bevel (Fig. 2) For the final pass, move the workpiece all the way to the end of the jig (Fig 3). ScarfJoint Glue-Up - Gluing a scarfjoint together presents a couple ofchallenges. First, the beveled faces of the two pieces tend to slip against each other.Also, it can be difficult to keep the edges aligned.An easy way to solve both problems is to build a simple L-shaped assembly jig.The base of this jig provides a clamping surface for the workpiece. And a fence keeps the pieces aligned.To glue up the joint, simply follow the procedure outlined in Figures 4 and 5 at right. Planer Trick - When the glue ses, there's one optional step you can take to produce a super-smooth face where the scarfjoint comes together.That'.s to make a light pass through the thickness planer with the joined boards.
