Ah yes this Canadian Man “ Come from away 🧐😮 “ has made a good example of all things I-Box, I’ve got one & am now tempted to get it out again, fanks TimbePhil for das great demo 🍺🍺🍺🍺🍻
The reason I watched your video was because I don't have a cd player anymore. The comments on Amazon said it was a pain to assemble. You can imagine how much I enjoyed that you skipped it altogether. Guess I'll watch somebody else's.
I’ve had mine for a few years now......it’s great and works fine.....but as I don’t do finger joints regularly I always forget what to do with the jig and have to refer back to the video...... Interestingly I note that my adjustment screw is on the left side as you face it not the right as shown above......mmmm. Cheers
That's actually due to which way your blade tilts in relation to the top (or the jig I guess...). That bit threw me for a loop actually. I set it up in my own shop and then brought it in to Timbecon to do the video, my saw moves differently than theirs so there was a bit of random "who the what the what now" going on that morning...
I'm getting serious burning in the joints with oak. Lots of smoke has been the result and even enough to set off my smoke alarm. I have cleaned my Dado blades but I still seems to have issues. A single pass through leaves burnt remnants at the back side of the cut so much that I have to loosen the front blade guard to remove the piece and sand off clean and then reset the blade guard each time. It's a very slow process right now. I have no problem getting clean cuts with pine so let me know if you can suggest a solution given my issue with hardwood.
Only if you want to make then cleanly and safely... to be fair, that clamp is a bit awkward. When I use this jig in my own shop I use a quik clamp and it's much faster.
Yep, sort of. You still bought the timber at some point, even if you are now using scraps to make the jig. Same goes for glue and screws/bolts I guess. All that being said, yes it is much cheaper to make a jig from scrap timber in your shop. However, you need to make a new jig every time you want to make different sized fingers for your box joints. If you only ever make them one size, this specialty product clearly isn't for you. Have you got any of your work posted anywhere? I'd love to see some!

TimbePhil. That's cool. Consider it his new name!

Been thinking about one of these for some time. I think you just make up my mind, thanks. Good video.
If you do a lot of box joints, it's brilliant.
Great video - super helpful, thank you!

I bet that thing is fun with a 28" drawer side in it. :-/
What brand of sliding do you have on your table saw?

either you'll need to sharpen your blades, or get a more powerful saw.
Onde comprar
$425 for this on your link in the description? You can get the Ibox anywhere else for $200 HMMMM.
Takes a lot of time loosing and tightening those clamps on each cut.
Buts it's safer that way, and you get a more precise cut.

just finger pressure all I use on it
That jig is $300. I make my own jig for "0" money.
