I've seen lots of good advice given on here so I'm hoping I can benefit from everyone's insight on this matter.
I love box joints and am going to use them for a coffee table. I would like fingers that are some where around 3/4" to 1". The parts are too large for the table saw.
I've got a general idea of how I'm going to do this but I was wondering if anyone had photos of a setup or jig they used.
I'm thinking template collar plus template that has a runner precisely spaced from the bit. The runner sits against the end of the piece for the first cut then sits in the first cut for the second cut, etc. The piece is held between sacrificial boards for support and the added bonus of eliminating tearout.
Well? What does the jury find is it's verdict?
