well since I got a new dado set, I thought I start building a box joint jig ala Shopnotes...
got the plans and the drawings...
got most materials and cut to size...
and cut to shape as well...
first thing to do is join the two bottom boards together with screws, I added glue (but that's just me)...

Re: building a box joint jig...
on the ts, I mark the placement of the bottom board to the sides...
and pre-drilled the mounting holes...
then on the cms, I trim the base or bottom board until I got the fit I wanted, tight but movable...

then onto the fixed fence, the scrap I got had an unsightly void on the edge, so I decided I'll edge band it...
and while waiting to the glue to dry, I start working on the stop... two pcs. of wood that will be the stop for the face to be adjustable...
and while these are also getting glued, I thought I'd round over the edges of the frames... (nice little tool...)

Re: building a box joint jig...
the fixed fence gets pre-drilled and attached to the main body.
as well as the stop gets installed on the fixed fence...
afterwhich it gets a light coat of shellac...:rolleyes: just bec I have some for testing and for added strength... tomorrow when I have some time I star building the movable fence and maybe give it a whirl...

Aaaay!! Nabitin ako ng todo ah..
Sir Timb is this good for finger joint lang?..and will it require a dado blade for the TS?..

this one is intended for the dado blade use, it will have various faces with different sized fingers. I have made a simpler finger joint jig using the stock blade before. build is way much easier but will only work for one blade...

...... 🙁 that's why i'm avoiding finger and dovetail joints.

don't avoid these joints, they make your work so much better and stronger... nakaktipid pa sa pako at turnilyo... :p:p:p

Re: building a box joint jig...
Ang linis ng cuts..ibang iba nga sa leigh jig.
Re: building a box joint jig...
I start by adding the movable fence...
squaring the fence is always important...
then the adjusting screw.
then, replacing the ts blade with the dado set.

Re: building a box joint jig...
always check with the manual when in doubt or making changes...
removed the carriage plate..
and ran the sled to make an initial cut so I can measure the correct measurements.
then with the miter gauge I cut the slot for the backing insert...

Re: building a box joint jig...
I then added the index key...
added the backing insert
and made the initial cut...
the result:
clean, tear-out free and flat bottom cuts on plywood...

Re: building a box joint jig...
notice the bottom and how flat it came out... very accurate and easy to make...
the fit is snug which is either tight nor loose, which make it perfect...
and as for the SD208, I would highly recommend it. it should make life more easier and more accurate...
