Kerf Mount Corner
Bracket Instructions
The location of the kerfs on the
apron pieces depends on the size
of the table leg and the setback (if
any) of the apron from the legs’
outer edges.

1.Cut a stopped 1/2" chamfer on
the top inside corners of all table
legs.
2.Position a table leg and the
adjoining apron pieces upside
down on a flat surface. Make
sure that the apron pieces are
positioned as you want them to
be, with the desired setback, and
are square to the leg.
3.Hold a Corner Bracket so that
the large center mounting holes
are centered on the chamfer on
the table leg and the flat areas
next to the kerf tabs are flush
with the apron pieces. Mark the
apron pieces at the tabs to locate
the kerfs.
