Slot one side of
louver with router mounted under the table.
Use:
AVI Router Slot Bit
Poly - 13/16" O.D.
Wood - 11/16" O.D.
Note:
Guide for 3 1/2" louvers (shown) - moves to adopt for 4
1/2" louvers.

Cutting:
Ultra Clear® We recommend a 12"
commercial carbide
non-ferrus metal - 80 tooth blade.
There are several
methods to cut to length
Ultra Clear®
Here is one way... Place hole strip on
Ultra Clear®
and
cut to length as shown.
Slide Ultra Clear® into your
Poly or Wood
Profiles.
In case we are making
an Ultra Clear®
large shutter.
Note: Notch in rail.
This Allows Ultra Clear®
mechanism to move
up and down with center divider rail.
Glue rails in
position on Ultra Clear®
side
(make sure glue does not get into
Ultra Clear®
mechanism).
Square rails
and make
sure the
glue sets.
Make sure the disc
are turned to
close properly. Place louvers in
position and glue rail to stiles.
Note: Mortise and
tenenor rails
in wood. (Dowel or biscuit as
normal other side).
Other Ideas: In this case,
worker is drilling a bigger
hole in the hole strips to eliminate hang up -
9/32"
If no rail wanted in
the Ultra Clear®
shutter,
simply make two (2) saw
cuts as shown...1" apart
and shake out aluminum
gear mechanism.
(The two separate
mechanisms
work independently).
For
extra wide shutters (over
28" - 34")
use Ta Chen's - Aluminum Reinforced Louvers with AVI
- Plastic insert adapters.
Simply push out aluminum 1/2" and cut,
then install AVI
1/2" plastic insert.
Use
Ultra Clear®
Finger Pulls in
the middle of shutter in
children's room for easy access for children's reach.
Note: Cut louver where pull
is to be placed = 0.082" thinner.
