Troubleshooting
Router does not fit correctly with the guide bush.
Verify you are using a 30mm external diameter guide bush and that it is correctly fitted to your router's base plate.
Grooves are not consistently angled.
Ensure the jig is securely clamped and level before starting. Check that the integrated 0.5º fall is not obstructed.
Work surface shows signs of dishing after routing.
Confirm that the ScribeMaster Anti-Bow Technology is correctly engaged and functioning. Ensure the template is properly seated.
