It enables cabinetmakers, furniture manufacturers and joiners to machine consistently positioned slot-and-tenon joints in chipboard and solid wood. The template inserts easily into the VS 600 base unit, while the system's lateral stops accurately locate both the template and workpiece. Once correctly set up, identical corner joints can be reproduced efficiently across multiple components—ideal for drawers, small boxes, cabinets and furniture assemblies. The template is suitable for workpieces from 6 to 10 mm thick and includes a KR D8,5\/OF 1010\/VS 600 copying ring for compatible OF 1010-series routers.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"definition-products\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRepeatable 6 mm corner joints with VS 600 precision\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe VS 600 FZ 6 transforms the VS 600 base unit into an accurate routing guide for 6 mm slot joints.
