Anyone play around with this yet?

Looks a lot like this or this.

Or the more expensive, variable spacing Katie jig.

Sure a lot of money for a fixed template based system. There are better options for cutting box joints- the best one is soon to hit the market! We are down to weeks now!!

[Galen Nagen]

Alan-can you say more about the new box joint jig?

GN

[Alan Schaffter]

Not yet, but in a few weeks.

[Galen Nagen]

How will I know?

GN

[Alan Schaffter]

I'll post it here.

[Galen Nagen]

Well, that will be how I will know. Interesting.

Thanks

This jig was a natural evolution for Leigh. This jig can act as a TD and BJ jig, but it lacks the nice set-up of the stationary jigs, such as router support, dust collection, etc.
But on OTOH, a Super 12 and this new jig rids the fear of buying a jig that is too small for those rare projects. So it represents a nice 1-2 punch for the Leigh line-up, as they lacked an unlimited length TD jig which the other specialty makers have had out for a long time.
