Double Duty Box Joint Jig

Nicely done. I’ve got to get around to building myself one of these.

There goes my saturday morning. Guess the lawn will have to wait. Have to build one of these now!!

Great looking jig

Good idea well done.

I like this design as well. Are you using the miter slot at all?

TDSpade, it looks to me like he has a guide that runs the edge of the table. If it had a miter bar, it would need to be switched to use the different sides

I like the idea a lot. I’ll be working on my own edition soon. I’ve been messing around with a TS jig, that I’ve scrapped because of the inconvenience of blade changes midstream. Now if I’ll just get down to it, I’ll have fodder for my first post.

Very nice, I might have to make one of these this weekend!

I like that two sided aspect of your jig, very clever!

TDSpade, Ben is right. It doesn’t use the miter slot, it has a guide on each side that runs along the side of the table.

Great idea!! (slapping forehead)Why didn’t I think of that? Since I left off the miter slot on my router table, I now see how I can build a box joint sled. Thanks a million!!

Thanks Chris, I didn’t see the guide on the other side. This is timely for me as I have been looking at different designs of box joint jigs on the web. I think this one will work for me.
