Multi-plus Jig
Howdens Multi purpose plus jig (10 & 35mm insets)
The Howden multi purpose plus jig is designed to cut 90° corners in both standard radius
worktops and worktops with smaller radii, such as composite and solid wood.
Because the jig is set to cut two inset distances there are two sets of peg holes for each
worktop width. For the 35mm female insets any of the peg holes under the slot can be
used to line up the jig against the post formed edge with one peg used in the appropriate
hole above the slot depending on the width of worktop see fig. 1.
For 10mm insets the two holes marked 10F, to the left of the slot, are used along with two
pegs in the corresponding worktop width holes, see Fig. 2.

Care must be taken when cutting 600mm and 616mm worktops as the sets of
peg holes are located closely together because of the small difference in width.
The diagram across the page shows the specific peg holes to be used when
cutting these width worktops

The above two diagrams show the jig set up for a 600mm wide worktop with a 10mm
inset.
Note: For female cuts with a 10mm inset it will be necessary to provide additional
support to the jig, as shown in the diagrams.
Set the jig on the worktop as shown. Clamp firmly with G-clamps. Once clamped,
ensure that the jig is square by measuring the distance between the back edge of the jig
and the back edge of the worktop (see distance “X” in the diagrams). This distance
should constant, confirming the jig is set up correctly. Position the router in extreme
bottom left-hand point of the centre slot. Set the cutting depth to 10 mm.
Start the router and pass the router steadily along the centre slot using the side of the slot
nearest you to guide the router.
Repeat this process increasing the depth of cut by 10 mm for each pass until the post-
form edge has been removed.
With the cutter set to maximum depth, use the side of the slot furthest from you to guide
the router and make one pass to remove approximately 1mm of worktop leaving a perfect
cut edge.
Switch off the router at the end of each pass and do not remove the router from the
jig until you are sure that the router has stopped. Avoid contact between tool and
jig.

The above two diagrams show the jig set up for left and right male cuts with a 10mm
inset.
Set the jig on the worktop as shown. Clamp firmly with G-clamps. Position the router in
extreme left-hand point of the centre slot and proceed as described above for the female
joints.
Note: Depending on the amount of worktop you are removing, the jig may again
need supporting from the side shown in the diagrams
Note These instructions set up the jig to cut 90° corners. If you wish to allow for slightly
out of square walls, remove one or more of the pegs and adjust the angle of the jig against
the post-form edge. You should be fully conversant with the usual functions of the jig
before attempting this type of adjustment.

Place pegs in the holes marked B as shown in the figures above, then clamp the jig in
position with G clamps.
For bolt holes the plunging depth should be set to about 20mm. Ensure this is sufficient
to accommodate the joining bolt you are using. Work clockwise around each mushroom
shaped slot and remove all the waste. Depending on the worktop width only 2 slots may
be needed.
Other U Shape Lay-outs
The “Typical Lay-out” in Figure 1 is the best method of constructing a U shaped layout.
There are however other formats which may be used for example the two lay-outs below.
These may be necessary depending on worktop length available, location of sink, hob etc.
