Project Information
After tons of research online and help from my LJ's buddies I designed my own box joint jig for a router table without a sliding mortise track..
This project took much longer than I thought because of the minute adjustments I had to make in the jigs final position and secure the cleat.. But it's done and the fingers are a little loose but they fit together like a dream with just enough real estate to glue up a joint…
The basic design is " L" form with a cleat that overhangs the table to slide it though the straight bit.
I had some leftover poplar so I used that and I also had 1/2" square dowel left so I used that as the key…
Because I cut a Chanel all the though the jig I supported the back with some scrap plywood L brackets held together with glue and pocket joinery … And the back of the jig where the channel comes out of the jig I placed a scrap piece of plywood to keep the jig square to the table and cutting bit…
I'm delighted with the results and it didn't cost me much
