Hi del
Thanks for the file and I had to do the same as you but I put the sides down on the side of the jig with some slots in them so I could move them up and down and help support the router base in the pass.(see url link in the 1st post)
This jig is one of the good ones from RWS because the slot will always be on dead center of the stock and true to the side of the stock and no clamps needed just the fine adjusting tool that Bob R. as on hand all the time to tap the wedge in place..
As you and I know when you use a ruler it's not always the same when you mark the stock for the slot, I have used and made many mortise jigs but the one that Bob R. came up with is the BEST one I have found, don't need to mark the stock just drop the router on the stock and make the pass, the best part of the jig is when you go to put the parts together they are dead on with no over lap that needs to be sanded down to get it to fit right.
Note*** I also like to use the floating type tenon it's quicker to put in and easyer to do and just as strong plus you can make the tenons on the router table in 24 " long and cut them off to size when I need them.
I use the band saw to make the hardwood 1/4",3/8".1/2" wide blank stock then round them over on the router table.
One users review on this jig, I would give it 5 stars out of 5 stars.
