I'm in the process of fitting my new u-shape kitchen and I'm not sure about tackling the job of joining the worktops at the corners using a jig and a router.

I can hire the jig and router from my local hire shop for a about £10 per day. I want to give the job a go myself, is there any advice anyone can give me before starting the job.

Cheers

I have never done this but I watched our fitters do it. Use clamps to hold the jig in place and I would think several small passes and not the full depth cut in one. They supported the work surface on 2 work horses/workmates.

I would say get a cutoff pice of worktop to practice on first.

This type of joint looks much better than the type that has a metal joining strip.
