Though intimidating at first, the wprktop jig is not difficult to use if you approach the job with care. Check that you have it set to the correct setting for the top ie 600mm and bear in mind that some tops are 615 deep. More up to date jigs allow for this
cut from left to right, turn the top over when needed to prevent splitting the bullnose and take your time, use shollow cuts rather than forcing the router, if not kept level it is so easy to ruin the joint.
I have had more problems with the tops being bowed than anything else, no matter how much you clout it with your trusty hammer the joint will never run flush, there is as much skill involved bolting it up as there is cutting it.
you dont need a worktop to practice, a bit of ply will suffice to get the hang of setting up and cutting.
I was astounded to read of a charge of 65 notes per joint, i only charge 30 and the local magnets charge 40, i think i had better review my prices lol.
