Box Joint Cauls 12-Pc. Set

I did a long run of boxes as gifts using box joints. I bought the cauls as soon as they came out. I wish I had them from the start. They work great. They bring the joints together tight and square and line up just fine. I do not know why some others have had trouble getting thirs to line up. I have had no such problems. I have only used the 1/4" models. If you find you have trouble getting enough clamping pressure, as I did once when I had the jig adjusted so the joints were too tight, get a second strap clamp and you should be fine.

This was just what I needed. I got exactly what I expected. I have been very happy with all my purcheses from Rockler.Thanks

I make a lot of boxes using a Leigh Box Joint jig. By virtue of the joint design the joints must be accurate or they will not fit. I have tried using the 1/4 inch Caul on several occasions only to rip it off and clamp the box my own way. The cauls only line up for the first 2 to 3 inches of the corner. At that point they are exerting pressure on the wrong location. If my boxes were only three inches deep this tool would be fine but I find them totally worthless for deeper boxes. Waste of money!

Excellent product. Helps glue up perfect tight fightingjoints.

We make a fair number of boxes using simple box joints. Our equipment to cut the joints yields milled stock with perfect fitting box joints. We decided to buy the cauls and band clamps from Rockler to assist in gluing up the milled stock and generally the results were okay after we made a few changes. We had to place a thin shim under each caul to bring it to the proper height that would not find the cauls touching the wrong points. Also we were forced to add our standard bar clamps to bring the joints in tightly at all points. The band clamps simply cannot exert enough concentrated pressure to pull a joint together from top to bottom. We will probably glue shims on each caul to remedy that problem and use the band clamp with bar clamps.
