Simple Box Joint Jig for the Router Table

This is a simple way to build a jig that makes it possible to cut box joints also known as finger joints on your router table ( Build video for mine: • Quick and Easy Portabl... ) I used some leftover MDF but you can also use Plywood for this. I recommend that you use an up cut spiral bit like this one: amzn.to/2TuKC38 to in your preferred size to prevent tear out. I use a sacrificial piece to prevent tear out on my workpiece.
Thank you very much for watching!

The fumes from that gasoline powered drill press must be awful. I hope you're using proper ventilation! Have you considered electric? My nephew's friend's grandfather used an old hand-crank Bentweiler single stage which ran on half diesel half gasoline. He used that thing every day for decades and one day he just passed out in his shop while running his planer. His sleeve got stuck, it drew him in and planed off a good inch from his front side. Needless to say he did not make it. Anyway, thanks for the great jig video.

[@Unalienable-Arrant]

Ha, hey it was a audio sample, if u watch it again you might notice the audio used for each of the tools made a sound that wasn't true to its original, the lawn mower wasn't under the table...and there were crickets i think used for the router...idk i might be off with the crickets, however have a second look its just a method of audio production and it was a decent one might i say....no offense tho

[@Weshopwizard]

@@Unalienable-Arrant you don’t say. I thought his table saw actually played music.

Using a gas powered lawn motor engine to power your drill press. Now that's re-purposing innovation. Impressive!

[@utahprepper8925]

I love the lawn mower-powered drill press!

the sound effects on this video are ABSOLUTELY DELIGHTFUL

[@Ollaris]

Thank you very much Jess! 🙂

[@JohnWaclawski]

Great jig for the router table and I subscribed for 2 reasons: 1. Love the way you produce your videos. Quick, to the point, no unneeded talking. 2. For the sound effects. Those are spot on. Laughed each time you used a power tool. Well done!!

[@katandpapa]

Awesome jig! Exactly what a rookie like myself needed! Thank you! BE SAFE,GOD BLESS!🇺🇸🙏❤

[@barrycuth3536]

Love that you show cutting 2 boards as a pair to ensure both have the same pitch. Many other videos show pieces cut separately and pitch errors are likely. Another video indicated that tongues should be 0.006 inches less than the slots, important information to avoid assembly problems.

It's been a long time I told myself to build a box joint jig for my table saw but I still postpone this because I can't get able to use the table saw rails now I think I know what I am going to do to build those fancy box joints !

[@sail4life]

Wow, Briggs and Stratton 4 stroke drill press! Nice!

[@andyboybennett]

I thought that a gas-powered drill press wasn't out of the realm of possibility, but I really wanted to know how a cricket-powered hand-held drill would work. Certainly more environmentally beneficial than the gas! You channel is a new discovery for me. I'll subscribe!

[@Ollaris]

Thank you! I need to check that out! Is there a build video? Believe it or not i ran out of 18mm plywood that’s definitely a first for me! 😅

[@JohnPatersonAu]

Awesome! I've seen similar jigs for table saws, but my table saw won't take a dado stack and I'm not too keen on the idea of cutting box joints one blade width at a time. I was thinking of doing dovetail joints when remodelling my kitchen, but the kitchen is going to have a modern look and I think (narrowish) box joints look more modern than dovetails - whilst still having a premium look to them.
