I like your jig. May have to build one of these.

Well I never thought of using it like that! Brilliant. I’m going to have to try this. The colour coded dot system looks like a winner too. Well done.

Really nice jig. It reminds me of another similar jig I saw here http://woodgears.ca/box_joint/jig.html that I’ve been thinking about making. Yours is considerably simpler though so I may make it instead.

rdjack21,

Yes. The jig I got my idea from was made by the same guy (Matthias Wandel) who built the really fancy one that you saw. That guy is a real genius.

I got to thinking about using standard threaded rod for “lead screws” and the distance of travel per revolution (and partial revolution) of the rod (or nut). I made up a spread sheet for some of the standard pitches (number of threads per inch) and then if a divider head (disc) was fastened to the end of the rod for even increments of partial turns: what the travel distance would be. Example: If a standard ¼ – 20 screw was used: (20 threads per inch) then one turn would move the nut 1/20 inch or .050 inch. So for a half turn it would move .025, one third turn it would move .0166, and so on. Granted one will not maintain 4 decimal place accuracy due to the thread precision (or lack of) and backlash between the nut and rod threads. Here’s my chart if you want it ~ it’s in pic format so I could store it to share. http://picasaweb.google.com/Islandwoodworker/OddsAndEnds#5498996975538082850

Now if we can get someone to draw up and post divider heads (circles with even increments)
Let me know if I have any errors and I’ll correct them; I did a random check on the calculations.
