re: Box-Joint Jig

After looking at the Incra very closely, I really like a couple of features that the DIY didn’t have, such as:

• a wide fixed material rest
• a front material clamp/vise to prevent inadvertent slipping while in use
• adjustable miter slot rail for TS and Router setups
• nearly all metal construction that pretty much eliminates swelling/constriction due to humidity issues over time.
• AND last but not least… I got the Incra ordered yesterday!

FWIW, I want to spend more time building projects and less time building shop jigs & cabinets. For example, my DIY router based Horizontal Mortiser works fine once it is adjusted properly, however, it is the act of “adjusting” that is more trial and error than it is precise. I am sure that that experience plays into my decision to go commercial this time.
