re: Here's a Key to making precise Box Joint Cuts.

Thanks Randy! While I am still waiting on my new Incra Box-Joint Jig, I started playing around with the simple jig I had made w/MDF and a pin. I took me awhile to get that spacing correct, by knocking the MDF fence R&L and re-tightening the screws on the miter.

I eventually learned the steps you outlined clearly above. Thanks for posting these steps. It makes a great “reminder” reference source for the future. I especially appreciate #3, remembering to “fully seat” the piece for each cut. I found that aspect challenging since my simple jig does not have a “shelf” to rest the stock on.
