Wow Kiefer another great idea! Thanks for the video too, that really helped to understand how it works.The adjustable stops are genius.
If I understand, you start with the box sides next to the blade?
What would the turret add to this?

Thanks for the comment TIM
The start of the cutting will depend on the width of the box side so a layout would have to be done to fit the height of the box to have the joint centered and the turret idea is to allow a easy setup for different size cutters so I can switch without having to reset the stops .
This jig is a work in progress so any ideas for further improments are welcome .

Wow! This looks like a keeper. If you get the time to draw up some plans with measurements, we would all be interested. Very cool!

Thanks for your comment and interest Mike .
I am not one to ask for a plan or drawing ,I am just no good at it and when I build something like this I just start with the rough idea and build piece by piece .If anybody is interested in drawing a plan get in touch with me and I be willing to supply the information as required .
This is a proto type and I will likely make changes and additions as I see necessary .

Now I understand how it works. One of the simplest ideas I have seen so far for a box jig.
Well done Kiefer.

Hi MADTs
Thanks for the comment and yes simple it is and easy to calibrate to get a exact fit .
I found that if it says 1/4" on a blade doesn’t mean that it will cut exactly 1/4" when in my table saw so I came up with the idea of being able to fine tune the advance on the jig to match the blade cutting width .
With a screw advance or fixed index like a threaded rod that can be difficult as the index from a 3/8" x16 tpi would give a 1/16" increment so I came up with this solution which kept it simple to build and adjust .

Another outstanding job of jig building.
