Flattening with TOT! locking jig

Insert the T-slot nut with M8 internal thread into the groove of the cross-frame profile. To the hole of TOT! locking jig the handle through the tube (above the groove of the profile of the cross frame), insert the locking lever M8 x 50mm, and screw it into the T-slot nut in the groove of the profile. Set the router carriage to the desired position and tighten the locking lever. Push the cross frame in the longitudinal axis to direct the cutter into the workpiece and guide the cross frame until the router carriage leaves the surface of the workpiece. To change the position of the router carriage in the transverse direction, loosen the locking lever by 1/4 to 3/4 of a turn. With the ideal release of the locking lever, the TOT! locking jig in the transverse direction moves smoothly without snagging. Move the router carriage to a distance equal to the diameter of the milling tool, tighten the locking lever, and continue milling the workpiece.

To move the cutter carriage faster, make marks on the transverse frame that are slightly less apart than the diameter of the milling tool – for example, for a tool diameter of 60 mm, the ideal mark spacing is 55 mm.
