Allison, your idea of using the adapter and clamp will work out fine. The angle the box joint jig is mounted to the table makes no difference, only the spacing from the bit to the jigs fence matters. Your wood will ride on top of the jig so there are no problems.

You really don't need to drill if you don't want to. You just have to set it up each time you use it and that is fairly quick with the set up bars and just holding the jig in place so it can't move. Corey | ||

Well I guess today was my lucky day. I pulled out my Oak Park 3/8" jig which has been sitting here for months so that I could install it on my Freud benchtop table. I started to fool around with blocks and clamps when I noticed that the threaded inserts in the table which are used with the Freud fence line up perfectly with the Oak Park jig! What are the chances??? The inserts are 5/16 so I enlarged the holes on the jig to match. Once I fastened the jig I had to finesse it a touch for a perfect fit. I used the same finessing tool the router guys use (a hammer). Well that was easy. Michael | ||

BJ, Michael is saying the jig matches up perfectly with the threaded inserts in the table top where his fence mounts.

 Seems like the biggest trick with the OP jig is to make sure and keep the wood straight, square and plumb as you run it through the cutter. Sounds like a job for a giant right-angle push block. Sometimes I get sidetracked so many times it's amazing I find my way back to what I was originally working on  Michael | |||

Hi Michael hahahahaha "Everyone's a comedian" I do try and keep it light I use a 2" x 6" push block and I do clamp 2 at one time, front and back and the two sides. It works well most of the time, unless I'm using real hardwood, then I will drop back to one at a time, the heat build up thing. I don't want to nail a bit for a dumb box joint. Bj
