How is the 0.5º fall achieved?
The fall is integrated directly into the jig's laminate frame, ensuring a consistent angle for water drainage.
What is the purpose of the Anti-Bow Technology?
The Anti-Bow Technology prevents the worktop from dishing or warping when using the design templates, maintaining a flat draining board surface.
Can I create a simple drainer without using a template?
Yes, the jig can be used without plates to create a flat-bottomed drainer with a constant 0.5º fall to the sink.

Troubleshooting
Router does not fit correctly with the guide bush.
Verify you are using a 30mm external diameter guide bush and that it is correctly fitted to your router's base plate.
Grooves are not consistently angled.
Ensure the jig is securely clamped and level before starting. Check that the integrated 0.5º fall is not obstructed.
Work surface shows signs of dishing after routing.
Confirm that the ScribeMaster Anti-Bow Technology is correctly engaged and functioning. Ensure the template is properly seated.
Jig slides are stiff or difficult to move.
Clean any debris from the slide tracks. Apply a small amount of dry lubricant suitable for laminate surfaces if necessary.
Cutter is not cutting to the correct depth or shape.
Ensure you are using the specified R9.5mm cove cutter and that the router's plunge depth is set correctly.
