[CAUT] notching

[Alan McCoy]

Not at all David. The router is mounted in a router table with a 3/8"
straight bit. The key is on its side on top of the jig with notch down. Then
you slide the jig over the bit with the straight side of the bit defining
the "head" side of the notch and the top of the bit defining the "tail" side
of the notch. Once you have set up the jig, about 3-5 minutes, this is
foolproof. The only problems you'll have are some minor chipping that can
happen (speed and direction of feed are key here as Spurlock discusses in
the article). This is truly minor and easily tauched up when doing the final
hand filing.
