Cut a worktop joint

Alan Holtham shows you how to cut a neat worktop joint using a jig and router

[@DeanneMariaCreates]

More amd more worktops are being made with Square edges, so masons mitre not required. I have just fitted my worktop. I used a new 35mm forstner bit and my circular saw set at the right depth to cut the boltholes. Cut sink and hob. Worktop joint is good and I sealed it with Unika colorfil.

Outstanding video

I’m just going to use a corner joint strip. I kind of find it funny how fussy people are with their kitchens in a day and age where the average person avoids traditional cooking 😀

[@kevinty7]

Thank you👍🏽

[@skibadeemc]

nice video but dont use those silly grip clamps if you notice at 1:20 you actully drag the jig towards you

[@allyn7078]

He didnt clamp onto the workbench , hence why it slid.

[@makolic1]

HI, have you had the worktop move ? what cramps would you recommend are you a carpenter.cheers

[@ANDYYSHAWW118]

Hi, why do you cut with a jig saw before using a router for the male cut please? I'm about to do my own worktops

[@1petrofski]

To remove the bulk of the chipboard otherwise too much routing is required

[@TheWorstCSGOPlayer]

Hi Alan, are those jigs commercially availible? Where would one find one of these?

[@julianreverse]

[@acewelding]

When he positions the jig to make the female cut, he doesn't take any notice of the width of the what will be the male cut.

[@cassiya100]

Haha. I noticed that too?

[@outsidethepyramid]

you are wrong. actually the interchangeable spacers ensured it was positioned correctly.

[@acewelding]

Colonel Walter E. Kurtz The work tops vary in width, if you use the stops on the jig you don't end up with the back edges exactly flush, that's why you should cut the male cut first and mark the width of the worktop on the jig to line it up with the edge for the female cut. It's more exact than using a spacer, or anal.

[@outsidethepyramid]

acewelding thanks for the reply. my worktop were delivered yesterday so im after all the tips i can get. wisdom of the crowd and all.

[@acewelding]

Colonel Walter E. Kurtz I wish you every success, you tube's brilliant for tutorials. Who dares wins 👍

[@BestUserNameUK]

Cowboy!

[@roythebuilder]

It would be impossible for someone to do a worktop joint by following this vid, It is a waste of time. I.E wahat if the walls are out of true ? this vid is a waste of bandwidth

[@arlingtonworksurfaces1740]

Quite an old video, but frankly I am disappointed. Its not something one can follow and replicate easily and now that most people have pointed out flaws in the comments prior to mine, we do not intend to follow it either.

[@tigereye1208]

This is a terrible example. Worktops cost a lot of money yet you have a video showing the jig moving when being routered at 1:20. This would effectively make the worktop fucked.

[@Aztech73]

Is moving all togheter with the worktop

[@paullamb7697]

DONT FOLLOW WHAT HE SAYS, ITS ALL WRONG

[@c.m.4078]

No really. Why it's all wrong?

[@starkaran8390]

I did something like this a month ago with plans from Stodoys.
