A box joint is both strong and attractive, making them perfect for all kinds of wooden boxes including jewellery, presentation, and storage boxes. Used in conjunction with the mitre gauge this box joint jig can produce precise, repeatably consistent joints with ease. From novice woodworker to experienced professional this jig will save countless hours and it will also mean that you do not have to waste time fashioning your own jig to create substandard joints.

To create your perfect box joint all you need is a straight cutting router bit that is up to 12.7mm wide, a R5086 mitre gauge and a router table that accepts the mitre gauge. Detailed instructions are provided with the jig for initial set up, which are very easy to follow. The jig makes use of a sacrificial fence to eliminate blowout and ensures an extremely clean cut to create perfect adjoining workpieces.

The fence is manufactured from an aluminium extrusion that is ribbed on the face to prevent wood from slipping and measures 450mm x 60mm deep. It is backed by two sections of 15mm thick high grade phenolic, one of these sections is the sacrificial fence. ©
