Hello can someone help ?? I want to have a work surface on the back wall in my kitchen I have a work top but its 600mm I need to cut it down so its 400mm. Ok here is the question, what Jig do I need to buy as they seem to start at 600mm ??

Can't you cut the joint first then cut the worktop down to 400?

You don't need a jig to cut down only to mitre.

No idea, not done it before ??

True but my question is "Are jigs backward compatible ?" I see there are jigs up to 1000mm so presumption time now, the smallest being 600mm ??

So what do you want to do with the jig, still very vague?

Really sorry. Ok I am putting in a worktop down the back wall then attach another part of it to it at a 90 degree right angle. I need to use the jig to put the fittings in underneath to join both worktops together.....

Hopefully this sounds right ??

I can't really see the problem here. 2 worktops at 600mm. Cut the joint using a 600 jig then reduce one worktop to 400 by trimming the back edge.

Or am I missing something?

Just for the bolts holes then , no mitre?

No it still needs to be mitred as it has a bevelled edge on it.........

Then see kbdiy response above which covers it.
