How to make a box jointing Jig

I have never made one of these before but am delighted with my first efforts. There are no plans available for the jig as router tables may differ.

    Peter, the jig itself is quite commonplace. However, the changeable inserts are pure genius. Why am I not surprised when you invented the Parf Guide System. Simple, effective and by far the best one that I have seen. Brilliant!

One little suggestion, possibly if you used a spiral up-cut bit, it would reduce the breakout that you experienced? Just a thought 🤔 Keep the videos coming, I always look forward to them .

Fix the vertical support, then fit the backing plate, clamp an insert in, then drill through this and the insert with a M6 drill. Fit another blank insert and use the M6 holes in the support plate as a guide to drill though the blank insert, repeat as many as needed. Then put a threaded insert into the backing plate. Countersink the M6 holes in each insert (front face) and use countersunk M6 bolts to fix the insert. It’s the Incra jig I was looking at, I think yours is better!!!! Regard John

You mention you'd probably make this out of high quality Baltic Birch ply if you were to make it again, unfortunately for many reasons as I'm sure you know Baltic Birch ply is virtually impossible to find, I wonder with your experience and knowledge if you know of any alternatives that could be used.

This created the shape to fit into the channels on either side of the table. I then trimmed this for height so that it was flush with the top. I think the TKS has the same channels. Peter

It looked more stable than the wobbly CMS table.For this sort of joint I would use my WoodRat, but then I need something different for the bottom grooves, either a router table as you did, or a handheld router with a guide rail.

    No worries using the CMS table. Just build a cabinet under and fold the legs up and put the CMS on top. It will be more sturdy than almost any other “Meccano” style router table. The CMS table with legs folded are super rigid, and you can still grab it to go where you go. Is a cabinet for the GE table in your future, Peter? 🙃
