Kehoe Jig Adjusting The Cut

Oops, the first cut is too deep which causes the top portion of the cut to tear out from the rotating shank passing through the wood instead of the cutter surface. Too deep because I adjusted my router so the dovetail bearing was tracking or following dead center along the finger or slot of the jig.

My second cut (one on the right) was set with the bearing riding high enough on the finger (about half the bearing) with the top of the cutter just kissing or passing through the top of the cut. Just perfect! My pencil line is to help with the visual and not an aid for cutting or set up. Nothing difficult here at all.
