Router
I ran the 1/2" shank around in my head for a day or so and decided on the 1/4" because you need to use a 5/8" brass guide with the MLCS jigs and the 1/2" shank would be just a bit to close, it's true that a 1/16" is good as a mile when it comes to routers and bits but because you are using a 3/4" dovetail bit well it's just a bit to tight for me, all it takes is a small bump from the shank/bit and the Alum. jig is junk or the brass guide is junk if the bit breaks the brass lock nut free, hang on for a free ride on the demo router express.
Note about the box joint template....
"This box joint template is going for around $60 these days."
Can't find the big/long one I found the (17 slot) 24" for 59.oo bucks with free shipping but no luck yet on the long one (25 slots) .

So if you have a link PLEASE let me know, thanks
Also can you please check your Template for a part number sometimes PC will stamp a part number in them ,that would help looking for it or a call to the service center if all eles fails,but it would be a high price item from them I'm sure.

Although I would get the 1/2 shank combo.
