I still use them if I want a different size box joint, but this one looked really neat with all it's fancy micro adjustments and I thought it might be more versatile. Mostly I use the 1/4" box joint for about every thing i need to do.

Thanks again

On a table saw the parts can be handheld as shown but with a router the bit will try and move the part and as you have said it bends the metal. For router use you will have to clamp it and maybe add some sandpaper to the jig to help hold the wood in place. That will slow down the process but if you get a quick acting clamp it might not be to bad. The closer you clamp to the cutter the better.

I have a miter gauge that has the same general features of the jig but I still use the hand made ones....

I hope this helped.
