Even if you have correctly setup the head using the setup fixture, you may still have a poorly- fitting joint.Two major causes of a poorly- fitting fingerjoint are improper finger length (incorrect setup of the cutoff saw ) and improper cutter bevel (see preceeding page). Following are common joint problems that are caused by either the cutoff saw or by improper bevel on the cutters. Always call WKW if you have problems.
