Hi all
Does anyone know where I can get a reasonably priced jig, I will
probably only use it once or twice hence unwilling to pay too much for it
and does anyone have good advice on using it? I expect if I can get one I
will practice on excess material first , but I would appreciate any advice
(especially any instructions) on using this type of Jig,,
PS I am fairly new to this but please bear with me , I know it is a tricky
operation but I am willing to try it.

he must be. I haven't the slightest idea what he's talking about,
trying to parse his question using USA terminology....
even looking at that jig (which I'd call a template) on the screwfix
site I still haven't a clue.
umm... anybody care to clue us here in the US in?
thanks

Get them cut & edged at the local borg or a kitchen cabinet supplier.
(90, 45 or 22.5 degree cuts only) They'll also do the mortises for the
bolts. Caulking along the back to hide the gap along the wall if it's
not straight/square.

It does a little more than that. See:
http://www.trendmachinery.co.uk/library/Instruction_Manuals/combi1002man.pdf
If you just want a jig/fixture for the connectors you can get one quite cheaply,
only then it's called a template. No I don't know why (over here it's customary
to blame any strange quirks in our language on the French)
The all singing all dancing jigs (whatever) are not aimed at the DIYer as you
seldom fit a new kitchen for yourself. So they are very robust and designed to
survive a long life with tradesman. (who will probably do a much better job than
most DIYers anyway)
So how do you guys fit these kitchen worktops?
Bridger:

Part of the problem is in the BritSpeak. There's an
assumption made by the speaker/writer (the UKer) that the
lack of werds and Inglish aren't a hinderance to us here in
the colonies. Of course the same is true of some people
this side of the 'Lantic but it's usually hidden in between
them telling their life story when asking a simple question
like, "How do I bring two counter tops together using a
hidden fastener?"
>even looking at that jig (which I'd call a template) on the screwfix

Technically it's a jig though the line between jig and
fixture does cloud/gray (grey David) a wee bit from time to
time/item to item.

The guy is looking for a jig/fixture to rout Tite Joint
fasteners.
http://www.mcfaddens.com/Catalogue/Industrial_Hardware/KV516_517.htm
By The Way: Tite Joint fasteners are a pretty good
substitute for barrel nuts when making things like a fixing
between bed rails and bed posts. If the puny diameter
scares you it's simply a matter of upping the screw (bolt)
size and using T-nuts. My Go To Hell Door Bench is put
together with 3/8" hex head cap screws and T-nuts and it's
rock solid. The best part though is the bench can be broken
down into a top, two ends and a couple of back rails and
transported easily and reassembled without any great strain.

Of course, Leon. A kitchen worktop jig is a routing template which normally
allows kitchen worktops to be jointed in an L, T or U configuration. It
basically forms a butt joint, but the short 45 degree-angled section of the
main slot cuts the rounded nose of the worktop into a neat "mason's mitre"
in the corner.
The dumbell-shaped slots in the template are used for inletting the special
bolts used for tightly pulling the joint together.
They're very common here in UK, and I find it hard to believe that you don't
have something similar in the US. You probably call them something else. A
nation who would call an inlet patch repair a "Dutchman" is capable of
anything :)))
Cheers the noo!

Here is a manual on how to use one:
http://www.trendmachinery.co.uk/library/Instruction_Manuals/combi66man.pdf
Trend do three flavours of this beastie and with their usual modesty they claim
they are the best in the world. That they may be but they are also probably the
most expensive in the world. See range here:
http://www.trendmachinery.co.uk/combijigs/
The Trend site is very handy even if you can't afford their kit as they have
manuals and guides on how to use all their stuff. Home Page:

What operation? What kind of jig?
Please note that to us a jig is something entirely different than a jig saw.

Ron...
If you'll send me a DXF of the template (er... jig) I'll send you
the jig cut out of tempered hardboard - almost certainly not as
durable as the £99 version; but certainly good for "once or twice".
