Many Woodworking Joints From One Simple Jig! (Spline, Box and More) 

Thanks, always good to save space in the workshop 👍

@@kiwiworkshop Agreed! You could also make build plans for jigs and sell them, thoughts?

@@inspiringbuilds yes, I've already made build plans and the link is in the video description. Thanks

Thanks!

Exactly. Originally I was going to build both a spline jig and box joint jig, then it occurred to me I could combine them both in one jig. Thanks and glad this was useful for you.

Great idea! It guess it would basically be a zero clearance insert for the jig. You would probably also want to make the height adjustable so you can match the height of the router bit. Probably more of a concern for a dovetail bit. If I run into issues with tearout, I will look into this. Thanks!

That's great to hear, thanks!

It is just one jig. The same top assembly is used for both spline and box joints. The main configuration change is the addition of the fence when making box joints.

Go for it! Thanks

I won't have time for this, but thanks for asking. See the video description for the plans if you would like to build your own.

Great, pleased to hear it 🙂

Thanks! For splines, I raise the router bit up, then adjust the jig sideways until the router bit is centered with the slot in the jig. At this point I will secure the clamps on the T-Track. For the spline position in the workpiece, you can place a spacer of the required width between the router bit and the spline clamp on one side, then secure it in place. Similar for box joints, I will raise the router bit up and adjust the jig sideways on the T-Track until the router bit fits in the slot in the fence. I will then do a test joint in scrap wood and make micro adjustments in the box joint fence (wingnuts on the back of the fence) until the box joints are fitting OK. It doesn't take much to get it all lined up correctly and once it's all locked in, you can make cuts fairly quickly.

I built it myself. It's attached to my table saw which has the bonus of making the table saw fence dual purpose. I was going to make a video for it but noticed there are a few already on RU-vid. If you search on RU-vid for something like "combined table saw and router table" you will probably find something similar. Great to read your comment about my channel and really appreciate you watching my videos - thanks!

I will make a full box making video at some stage and it will include the lids

Thanks, appreciate your comment 👍
