    Good stuff. I built one for my tablesaw and can't live without it. Providing you don't lose count of the turns it's perfect.

      +Paul St George Yeah, I have lost count in the past ... not fun :)

      maybe a click counter would work.
      you might be able to incorporate a hit counter for golfing
      this came to mind because i have one but i’m sure there might be other counters out there:
      let me know if you find one and decide to use it.

    Screw advance box joint jigs (or lynn jigs) are great. Multiple size joints can be created in a single piece. I built one for my table saw a few years back and am very happy with how well it works. Thanks for sharing.

    You know, when you have a long distance of all thread to run a nut on, you can hold the nut with a wrench and insert the all thread. Into a drill. Saves a TON of time! Great sho bro!!!

  • @alexkowalski7912
    @alexkowalski7912 8 лет назад +1

    Nice jig. With a tiny 1/32" bit and 1 turn on the crank you could make very tiny box joints.You might have to add springs and lock nuts to preload the sled and the threaded rod so they don't move side to side.

    • @knecht105
      @knecht105  8 лет назад

      +Alex kowalski That is true ... I thought about that but have not tried it yet

  • @billprocter942
    @billprocter942 8 лет назад

    Like the video. Tip on making your joints a little looser is to push on one side of the jig and pull back on the other. I made this jig for my table saw.

  • @dtriniboss
    @dtriniboss 8 лет назад +1

    That's a nice working jig. As I watched it assisting the cuts I thought that a stop block clamped to the table would better control the depth of each cut.

    nice one Colin while you were doing it and the use of using two drills I had to show my partner why us woodworkers use two drills but I have always have 3 and there 18 volt brushless .each one cost £350 there dewalt and enjoy having them so I hope that my partner understands now here from you soon Colin Peter fae Scotland cheers and happy new year to you Colin

    Hi there, Colin. I am not understanding, when you turn the handle moving the carriage and work piece along, how is it spacing the fingers accurately. PS love your shows.

    Good jig for the router table! Always enjoy your projects!
    I noticed that you were leaning over to see the cut. While this is not anywhere near as dangerous as with a table saw jig/sled, I have seen others mount a small mirror on the front rail so they can see what the blade/bit is doing without leaning over to see it.

    • @knecht105
      @knecht105  8 лет назад +1

      +Rob Harrod Yeah, not sure why I was doing that, I like the mirror idea though

    • @robharrod
      @robharrod 8 лет назад

      WoodWorkWeb I was at the Dollar Store just today and I saw a small (2.5" round) self-adhesive mirror that would have been perfect for your jig!

  • @rayyon5266
    @rayyon5266 Год назад

    I have a question. the joint is going to be very tight because of the accuracy of the system. Since the crank moves 1/16" of an inch with each turn, can you open it a bit by making the first cut, turning the crank just 1/4 turn and making another cut, then turning it back a 1/2 turn to make a third cut. That should open the joint by 1/32 of an inch, which should be enough to get the glue in without showing a gap. Will that work?

  • @ginoasci
    @ginoasci 2 года назад

    nice jig but i noticed that the whole assembly wiggles around when you crank the handle. does this play in the miter slot effect the width of the joints?

    Nice Jig Colin. I thought I saw one of the boards catch as the carriage move to our left. May need a slight chamfer on the router slot. Don't you love those little 12v Milwaukee drill drivers. They are my go to for bench work.

    That seems like a very complicated and unwieldy jig. There are a ton of WAY simpler box joint jigs out there, both home-made, and bought ones. And I couldn't work out how you were setting the distance BETWEEN the routed bits - when you wound the handle. Was that measured, freehand, or did you have a template somewhere that I couldn't see? I'm a subscriber to your channel and love it, but this one just seems like so much trouble to build and to use. Personally, I just use the Rockler Box Joint Jig - not expensive and works very easily.

    • @Barnagh1
      @Barnagh1 3 года назад

      The number of times you wind the crank governs that, and it depends on the pitch of the threaded rod. If you use metric fine thread, 1.0 pitch, one turn would move the carriage one millimetre.

  • @Zerkbern
    @Zerkbern 8 лет назад +7

    I watched your shoe box vid, then this one. And. I still can't see how this jig works. I see you turn the crank between every cut, but how are you getting accurately spaced cuts? It seems like it would be prone to be off.
    I know I'm just missing something.

    • @rrabbit1960
      @rrabbit1960 6 лет назад +4

      He used a 3/8" - 16 threaded rod. Each turn of the handle is 1/16"-he just counted the number of turns. 8 turns is 1/2"-perfect spacing for a 1/4" bit.
      I use 3/8"-16 rod for a lot of my jigs since it is easy to figure how far it moves per turn.

  • @NormRidg
    @NormRidg 8 лет назад

    Just finished the jig for my table saw and realized, how is the clamp attached to jig? See bolts through, but not in parts lists or in the video. I see it showed up in the end. Except for that it works great!

    • @NormRidg
      @NormRidg 8 лет назад

      +Norman Ridgley Added 5/16" insert nuts and then a knob to faster the clamp on. Attached a 2" wide board on the back behind the carriage. The added a 18" ruler on the back and a "needle" to back of carriage as a check on position. Reduces miss counts.

    why not to add miter gauge in the top of this tool to help you calaprate the distance while dadoing?
    or calaprate by mitering the numbers of turns
