 This shop-made Box Joint Jig lets you "dial in" perfect-fitting box joints on your table saw or router table. And the unique micro-adjustment system and locking feature make it easy and accurate.
Unlike most box joint jigs that require an almost endless amount of "tweaking," this jig can be set up in a matter of minutes. The secret is a built-in system that lets you adjust the jig in extremely small increments. The system is designed to adjust both the size and spacing of the pins and slots that make up a box joint. By simply turning a knob, the jig can be set to cut slots that range in size from a width of 1/4" to 13/16".
With the exception of the 1/4"-thick hardboard backing plate (that prevents chipout), all the main parts are made from 1/4" or 3/4"-thick hardwood. The hardware is available at hardware stores and home centers. We also offer a complete hardware kit. Details are included in the plan.
The overall size of the Box Joint Jig is 4" wide x 19-1/4" long x 6-1/4" high. This project was originally published in ShopNotes No. 8.
