[Welstead]

can the diy man like me cut kichen work top with the angle jig?

 

[breezer]

yes, but if it will be any good will be a differnt matter.

opinion suggests you get some one in for the cuts, goes wrong their fault, not yours

What can go wrong if the jig is secured accurately and the OP is careful with the router?

OT, but are the Silverline jigs available for about £25 any good?

The corner you're working into can be out of square (very common), you can cut from the wrong side and get a break-out (common DIY error), you can forget to make a final full depth cut on the correct side of the jig opening, cheap jigs don't always produce a tight joint at the curve, etc, etc. Biggest problems are probably levelling-up to start with, making sure you've got access to the joiners from below (when on solid-top corner carcasses) and taking-out the inevitable bow in the top when cramping-up - and ALL tops are bowed to a greater or lesser extent , it's just a matter of degree

How much am I likely to pay for someone in the trade to cut --- 4 angles to be cuts?
I had--- 1 angle cut three years ago. It was £50 then, but I cannot get hold of the man that cut it.
