Steve Maskery builds the Ultimate Universal Tablesaw No-Dado Box Joint Jig!
Yes, it's a bit of a mouthful. But it's actually quite good. One jig, one blade, any size finger-joint. Did we mention it doesn't need a dado head? Best design using just a Flat Top Grind Rip blade.

The millimetre to inches conversion was brilliant!

Steve, great presentation style. Little details that show you are a natural teacher (you want this clean side, not this chipped out side). Humor (11.8mm is somewhere between 11-12mm...almost fell out of my US based chair). I bought your plans and should have it done this evening! Thanks much. After 20 box joint vids, this is the one.

I built this jig and have now used it to make two different sized box joints. It really takes some patience to get the setup right but as you say, once it's setup correctly, you're done. I absolutely love it. Thank you Steve for sharing your wisdom.

Hi Steve. About five years ago I built a box joint jig for my table saw and dado set. I struggled with the setup every time I used it. I then built a jig for my router table and I'm not pleased with the quality of the joints it makes. I've watched a dozen, or so, videos on building box joint jigs, and yours is the one I'm building now. It is the most simple, straight forward design I've found.

I tried two other "simple box joint jigs" I found on YouTube, both of which seemed simple but ended up being complicated or hard to build, or at least hard to build right. That is, hard for me to build right. After giving up on the second one I went browsing YouTube videos again and came across this one. At first jt seemed complicated, especially because you were so careful and precise. But once I had watched the whole thing through I thought, "That's it?" Then I watched it again and thought, "Wow, it's really that simple." I drew it up and built it within a day, and I'll be damned if it didn't work right the very first time I used it. Of course I still need some practice but I already know it's going to work and work well. And yet it's so simple. Genius. Thanks for sharing!

I've looked at many, many YT vids re: box joint jigs. This looks like the best one, by far. Kudos.

I like to hear "No dado". Wonderful.

Forgot I’d made this about 18 months ago, dug it out and made a sliding divider drawer for my workshop cabinet, worked a treat!! Many thanks again Steve

I just built one of these. There are a lot of "box joint jigs" on Youtube. Some very basic, and some very complicated with gears and threaded rod. I liked this design as it was a simple sled, with interchangeable inserts for different box joints. Using the single blade (as I rarely use box joints over 1/2") works well, and with the simple screws was surprised how easy it was to dial in the perfect fit, and complexly repeatable. If i want to do a new size for some reason, very easy to grab a scrap of 3/4 ply and make up a new insert to suite. Well worth the effort.

I've spent a few hours making this jig Steve. Thank you for sharing. I'm a learner down in New Zealand and wondering why my joints seem to be rather loose. Cheers for now.

"So, if you work in inches, 11.8 millimetres is somewhere between 11 and 12 millimetres!" I had to laugh, Steve; but I'm starting a copy of your brilliant jig right away!

I just made this jig - a really well explained job. As usual, I didn't listen (ask my wife) and the dual rails I made were both 0.4mm too skinny, result - misery. It didn't help that my 6 month old MDF had been in a wet shed, nor that my initial attempt at checking this came out perfectly and lulled me into a false sense of perfection, nor that I used a face board to avoid the split- out as described, but failed to use double sided tape and v thin scrap, as I had neither, and the plate of ply I used slid on the face of the jig... you get the idea. Perfection is easier if everything is dry, neat, to hand, and you have all the ingredients. I expect years of practice helps. Every error leads to a better day, just don't do what I did - do what he did! I'll remake the jig after a visit to B&Q on Wednesday.

Watched it again and I loved your metric to English conversion. Quite Cheeky!

Very elegant jig! Will be making it soon.

This jig is so clever. It really is a pain to set up a dado set for one box, plus as you mentioned, it is nice to be able to use the saw for other cuts without removing the dado. I will be building this jig soon. Thanks for sharing your design.
