I thought I post this as a project for those that did not see the blog I posted a few days ago and this is the link
http://lumberjocks.com/kiefer/blog/53553
A very simple jig with an indexing device made by using a cog belt and a fence mounted sliding jig .
I use a box joint cutter tilted to a 45 DEG setting to do all the cuts on my table saw .
This is the jig that I used for the last few boxes I made so take a look at my project page to see the boxes .

The things you do with wood are simply amazing Klaus! I’v got to give this a try when I find the time.
Thanks for posting your ideas, I treasure them all!

It’s a mighty fine set up and turns out making some unique style designs. My neighbor gave me a old timing belt so this is on my list for future use. Of course the neighbor wants me to make one for his daughter. Around here I refer it as the Klaus box maker. Thanks buddy.

Hello Klaus,
Would it be possible to achieve same/similar results with a router table quipped with an Incra LS system?
Love your work!

Thanks guys I appreciate it .
It’ nothing fancy or complicated just a little thinking and stuff from around the shop put together the main ingredients are the box joint blade and the cog belt, the blade giving a nice clean cut and the belt giving a very precise increment adjustment.
Now the router method keeps cropping up (jacquesr ) and I have reservations about the cut quality and the cost is about the same for a good quality 90 DEG. bit but I have not tried using a router .
A blade is a better tool to use for this in my opinion but an Inca jig would work as well here in place of the cog belt but the cost is defiantly a factor for me living on a very meager pension so I work with what I have available and feel good about it .

Hello Kiefer,
I already have all the equipment.
I had thought about doing something similar in the past, with gluing several thin layers of wood.
I will give this a try on my router table over the week-end.
Thanks a lot!

Great addition to the Keifer jig gallery! Sorry I missed the party but see it received a well deserved DT3. Congratulations.
