EXPANDABLE CONNECTOR ASSEMBLY, TOOL ATTACHMENT AND WORKPIECEJIG

摘要

A kit comprises an expandable connector assembly and a router jig clamp assembly (41) to hold a workpiece comprises a router guide plate (42) having a router tool opening (43), a workpiece guide plate (44) having (45) guides (4 5 and 46) so that opposite mitres may be cut using the guides (45 and 46). The clamp (41) may be mounted on a bench adjacent a bench router so that upon alignment of a workpiece in position adjacent to opening (43) the press may be used to form the slot in the workpiece. The assembly has a clamp (47) comprising a handle (48), cams (49 and 50), a clamp bar (51) and spring mountings (52) at opposite ends. This enables a workpiece to be clamped when the handle (48) is pulled down to a position running generally parallel to t he guide (44). Thus a workpiece is slid along one of the (45) guides into alignment with the slot (43) and then the clamp is applied to hold that piec e in position for the slot cutting process. The guide plate (44) is travelling in a guide set at (90) to the plate (42) and consequently the clamp handle (52) for the guide is offset relative to the central guide way for the plate (44).
