Jean-Yves's box joint jigJean-Yves built a mirror image version of the box joint jig to better fit his table saw.Jean-Yves writes: On my 1969 LUREM, I have barely 15 cm on the left and 50 cm at the right side. Moreover, the bar is only a straight gap on the table so the guide bar is not a t-slot one that is supposed to hold the jig. It must be kept as stable as possible on top, so I changed the design to be mostly on the right side. Seyler added a fence to help keep all the boards aligned to the left. Normally, it's desirable to keep the boards as far right as possible, but with Seyler's jig a mirror image of the design, it makes more sense to have a fence that pushes the boards left as far as possible.

The solution you proposed to make
multiple cuts with regular blades works quite well but
needs (much like knitting ;-) to count and not miss the numbers!
The arrow is also moveable so you can choose to begin by a finger or a void. The arrows are for counting the turns only. The exact position is determined by the gears and screws. See also: Back to screw advance box joint jig |
