Rockler Router Table Box Joint Jig

Make precise, tight-fitting box joints with your router! For use on virtually any router table with a standard 3/4" miter slot, this jig features a smooth-sliding backer sled and three (3) precision-machined aluminum indexing keys to give you air-tight joints with either 1/4", 3/8" or 1/2" spacing. Works with stock up to 3/4" thick.

For compatibility, the near edge of your table's miter track must be between 4-1/2" and 6-1/4" from the center of the bit.

Additional features and specifications:

Stable MDF platform has low-friction melamine coating for added durability and easy cleanup.
ABS plastic backer sled provides ample support, and is also predrilled for a sacrificial face
Easy-grip knobs lock platform into miter slot
Platform measures 10-3/4" x 12-3/8" x 1/2"
Includes all necessary mounting hardware

The jig requires a straight router bit to match the size of the indexing key. Up-cut spiral bit like the ones listed below deliver the cleanest cuts and prevent blowout.

Followed the instructions and worked with 1/4 in. clear pine. The jig worked fine after a little soap on the sled runners.
I'd like a bit more substance to work with heavier stock.

The sled runners could be improved, heavier and dust/wood chip clear runners would help when doing bigger that draw type joints. If the craftsman take the time to carefully set up the jig using accurate blocks for the critical spacing and hight setting this system works well. Test pieces are a must as minor adjustment at the testing stage of set up will save hours of sanding (correction) later. A fun and easy jig to use.

The desgn is simple and efficient, doing what it was said to do. Hand made jigs work too but not near as precise. Worth the money.

I was dissapointed in the light construction. very flimsly. I did not like the plastic. the lock downs did not fit my craftsman table. i had to alter the hole to fit my table. i dont suspect it will hold up very long with continous use. 3/8 inch stock seems to be the best thickness to use this jig. with practice tho, it is possible to make some very nice joints.

Great tool. I have used it several times in the past two weeks on a half dozen projects to get a good feel for it. It is crucial however to tightly lock down the jig to keep it from walking. Also, for thinner materials like ¼” hobby stock (I tried oak), don’t use this jig. It is important to use setup bars for quick calibration and to minimize sanding. Over all, this was a great investment.

I ordered one of these when it first appeared on the catalog cover a while back. It appeared in the photo to be a well-built unit, but when I received it, it was disappointing, and even chipped in some places. I returned mine and bought a different jig. I'm sure it would work OK for some people.
