They are going to come out with a smaller one next year, they are going to call it the I-Box Mini ......:D:D

It is a really nice box joint jig and if you ever want to try it out just let me know.

I bought the I-Box about a month ago and due to illness I just tried it out for the first time tonight. Most people report that their first joints are rather tight and adjust the I-Box to get a good fit. My experience was just the opposite. Very loose joints, so I too will make the necessary adjustments and try again until I get the perfect fit. I tried mine out on the tablesaw and likely will continue but it works on a router table too. Now I just have to figure out what the best way will be to put a bottom on the boxes I'll be making. Probably have to use the router table for that and put grooves in the box so I can slide a bottom panel in place.

With box joints, a stacked slot cutter (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00004T7JR) works really well. I set the cutter to the desired thickness, put on the 1/4" bearing, and set it in the router table. Dry fit the box, and add a little masking tape on the outside to hold everything together (with good tight joints, this may not even be needed). Turn on the router, drop the box over the bit, slowly move a side into the cutter, then move the box clockwise all the way around. You can either round over the corners of the bottom, or use a narrow chisel to square up the ends of the dadoes.

That's a great idea Bas, thanks for the tip!
