Hi all,
Using a new Unika worktop jig on my last couple of kitchens and noticed the same problem both times. Cut the female joint with a nice square end on the worktop and no problems. Offer in the male section of worktop, mark the cut from underneath as it needed to be a few degrees out of square and proceeded to cut with router.
Now when I offer them together the joint does not meet perfectly, it was tight at the round part of the joint but open at the back.
I managed to sort it out by re-cutting then male dead sqaure (not a few degrees out to match the wall as before) and hey presto a nice tight joint....and I can get round the out of sqaure walls with the tiling.
With my old jig I had no problems tweaking the male section a little to allow a better fit on out of sqaure walls. Anyone experienced this?
Could it be that I am trying to tweak the male end of the worktop by too much or does it sound like an issue with the jig?
