Jigs and Fixtures This area will be directed towards the art of designing specific jigs and fixtures. Bob and Rick say, "if the specific operation is to make more than one piece the same size and shape then chances are you need a jig and/or fixtures."

Default Keyed or splined mitres

Can anyone direct me to a jig for putting keys or splines into the mitred corners of a box?

Here are a couple:

http://www.woodworkingtips.com/etips/etip010511sn.html

http://www.ibiblio.org/twa/plans/plans/keymiterjig.pdf

For doing keyed mitered joints on boxes rather that frames. Make a similar jig only use a 2 x 4 or 2 x 6's instead.

Hi Geordie

Here's just one more that Gary (seawolf21) came up with
You can put in spines or a dovetails for the dovetail keys with his quick to make jig and it can all be done on the router table (quick and easy one)

Thanks Corey / Bj. I don't have a table saw yet so I need a router based solution. I've printed off the keyed mitre jig from one of Corey's links (Project 14658EZ) and should be able to adapt it for router table use. Thanks again.
