You’ll also need to set the depth stop for the tenon.
The mortise we cut is 3/4” deep, but we also need to
take into account the 1/4” deep groove, so the overall
tenon length needs to be 1” or slightly less to allow for
glue.

Use the crank handle to move the stock clear of
the bit, plunge the router and lock it in place. Turn the
router on and use the crank handle so as to cut from
left to right as shown at right. (This climb cut results in
virtually no tearout.)

Precision stop
Before cutting the other cheek, we need to set a
stop on the aluminum rails so we can repeat this cut
for the other tenons. With the router plate still locked
down, slide one of the green plastic stops or a micro-
adjustable precision stop in the guide rail T-slot and
against a stop rod inserted in the router’s edge guide
mounting holes and tighten the stop down. (Note that Adjustable barrel Stop rod
by turning the barrel on the adjustable stop, you will be
able to make minor adjustments in the position of the
bit — a quarter turn is 1/4mm or 1/100th inch.)
