I use a lot of box joints so I made these jigs. I use this saw for all box joints and little else. I did have a Jointech fence on it and a router as an add on. The Jointech is now going on a new dedicated table.

The wooden block has a dado cut to hold the key stock a little glue keeps it in place.

The oak block is held in place with two 5/16inch bolts. The holes in the block are oversize to allow for adjustment. Moving the block makes it real easy dial in the tightness of the joint.

The bottom and runners are made out of some sort of hard plastic material a buddy gave me. It is great for jegs and fixtures. The runners are held in place with 3/16 inch roll pins.

I made three sizes,1/4,3/8,and 1/2. Doing this allows making perfect joints with no adjustments or trial fits.
