Has anyone besides me had difficulty with this right angle holder..
It seems to jump when I am routing dovetails and never glides smoothly like their videos show.
it it me or their design?

Make sure you have cleared all surfaces of debris, especially anything sticky. The jig should be snug to the fence and just lose enough to move along it without any play. Check that the router plate is not sticking up. Above, all, be firmly in control of the jig. Properly set up you shouldn't have anything that causes the jig to stick and then jump.

I will add some thoughts to what Microsurfer said. I use a dry lubricant on the fence and the holder. There are three white nylon screws on the fence side of the vertical holder. The center one is to hold the holder fast to the fence for when you are loading the device. When you are routing, simply unscrew this a turn or so. The other two outboard screws are to adjsut the holder so that it can move freely, but tightened enough to reduce any slippage. Next, when you add wood to be clamped, stack it so that all pieces contact the router table top. Do not try to have the pieces be flat against the fence. The fence might be leaning slightly back (out of square). Only the base of the wood has to come in contact with the fence. When you route, your right hand should be on the vertical holder and be oressing down and forward, the left on the wood clamp keeping vibration out as much as possible. Practise this and you will get great cuts.

I added a piece of 3/4" UHMW Tape to the bottom of the plywood runners and to the inside surface (opposite the plastic screws) that rides against the fence. Now mine slides smoothly on the table and the fence.

i also added UHMW tape to the bottom of the Pro II fence as well as to the bottoms of the wonder fence. Not only does it slide more smoothly, but it doesn't scratch my melamine router table top as it had been from the factory.

I bought my tape from Hartville Tool.

Thanks
Discovered another problem with the jointech lift
the window showing router height is inset enough to catch my backer boards if i am not careful
Finally got four boards cut uniformly so perhaps I am getting it right.
tnx for the useful tip

Abie

Thanks for all the help
I installed the tape and took care of the router table so all runs smooth now
what a difference it makes
Will be able to post pictures soon.

I replaced the ply blocks with slippy nylon blocks that made quite a difference to the glide. I also incorporated a sacrificial backing piece.

Abie

Thanks mike;
can you post picts of the backer piece?
where did you find nylon blocks for the bottom blocks?

Hi Abie

Just a butt in post

You can save a buck or two with the tape...or get the stock to make the blocks from the same.see below ....
UHMW Plastic Sheets and Strips

The block on the right hand side of the pusher block is made to hook on to the fence to keep it to the fence every time..see picture below..
The box on the back side of the fence is for the vac. hose (2 1/2") to fit in and to suck up the chips..
