Improved Multi-Size Box Joint Jig for Router Table

Will this jig slide well for making box joints with the homemade router table? My idea is to reduce the sliding surface, which is why I’m using some round wood rods as runners. Also, the base of the jig is slightly elevated above the table. Instead of choosing the size of the router bit, I cut four pieces of plywood to make a jig that can use four straight router bits of different sizes for wood. However, my mistake was using low-quality plywood, which caused one of the pieces to suffer so much tear out that I couldn’t use it.

I find the trick interesting that allows me to make sure the side pins of the joint are the same size, even though they are narrower than the router bit I used.

When adjusting the distance from the indexing key to the router bit, if the piece between them fits tightly, the pin will be thin and will fit loosely into the sockets when making the joint. If the piece is loose between the indexing key and the router bit, the pin will be thick and fit very tightly.

I should have made the indexing keys longer and shorter in height.

In the next video, we see another very interesting trick using this woodworking jig:

Youtube no solo nos escucha. También lee la mente.
Estoy haciendo justamente algo así y esto vino a completar la idea que tenía.
Los deslizadores cilíndricos van a funcionar mejor que los que estuve haciendo. Tienen muchísima menos fricción que los que hice. Muy buena idea! Gracias por compartir esta genialidad!

Spitze. Endlich jemand, der bei Fingerverbindungen die goldene Regel anwendet, dass man mit einem Finger beginnt und endet.

Hola amigo, a mi me pasaba al principio, deslizaba muy rápido el material de aglomerado por la broca del rauter y se estillaba .... ahora lo pasa poco a poco te felicito por tu deslizador, es mucho más practico y cómodo ....

I think you figured it out, but to prevent tear out, just clamp another piece of sacrificial wood to the piece, then tear out happen on sacrificial piece, and not on the needed piece.
Great project, very impressive.

Great idea!! I like your router table too. I have the same router plate and been looking for a table to make, thank you.

It is fascinating to see these fascinating ideas of yours.

There's a couple of things I would do different but the concept is sound. 👍

Great work. I will be copying your ideas soon.l have purchased a router lift to add as well

Jetzt noch Spiralnutfräser verwenden 😌 dann reißt auch nichts oder sehr sehr viel weniger aus.
Diese geraden 2-schneidigen Harken verwende ich nur noch fürs "Grobe".
PS: Ja ok, Spiralnut geht im Heimwerkerbereich wahrscheinlich nur bis max. 8mm (Schaftdicke halt), aber für feine Zinken ausreichend glaub ich ...

There are WAY BETTER videos for this. Furthermore the way things look makes it all very gloomy. Cheap and smudgy materials. Bllch!
