Just like anything though there is a learning curve, I set my strike point with the end hammers in each section, checking hammer angle and then use the glued end hammers to line up the jig, the radius on the tail should not affect the inside edge of the tail for lining up against the rail of the jig, unless you are taking too much material off and actually shortening the hammer tail.
