OK,,thank you mike and DrZook...
The jig looks interesting...kinda the same principle as the basic 'key' type tablesaw jig., but I don't have a router table. I was looking into getting a box joint template(not an entire jig assembly), and attaching it at the ends of my pieces to do the slots.
I'd build a table for my router(still in the shopping mode), but I don't have the time/resources for that yet...unless...the table could be very, very simple...easy enough for me to build in a day, without a lot of fancy parts. If it could be just a basic box with the router attached underneath...no fence, no miter slots, then I'd truly consider the OakPark setup.
Again, right now I ONLY need to do box joints. I tried to see how the OakPark system works..but the video demo was down...and I didnt want to purchase a 'demo' video only to see if I wanted to buy the jig. If I did have one, I'd have to admit that the OakPark jig looks rather ideal for what I'd need it to do.
Now, I saw various brand metal box-joint templates in the $15-$40 range and
wanted to see how feasible it was to rig the template to my workpieces without having to purchase a whole jig assembly. Can this be done? |
