Instructions
Place and cut the top first, and let the 1/8" cutter cut down into the spoilboard a little. Delete the file just cut, then place the bottom file using the same anchor point at the same grid point. Flip the workpiece and line the 1/8" hole up on the holes left in the spoilboard, then cut the bottom. Pockets are just deep enough to flush the hardware. If you have a tool with a large T-slot (example, sliding table saw) the adapter can be used.
