My box joint jig prototype<\/h3>\n

As mentioned in part one I’ve decided to make an Arduino driven box joint jig for my table saw and as part of that I mentioned that I’ve made a prototype box joint jig. I this post I’ll show you some photos of my prototype and my first box joint made using the jig. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

First things first: Here are some photos of my prototype:<\/p>\n

Basically it’s just two boxes of different sizes – on inside the other. The inner box is mounted on two drawer sliders and is moved back and forth by a 8 millimeter treaded rod with a handle. The treaded rod is mounted using two ball bearings (ball bearings for roller blades fits perfectly) and a homemade handle is mounted on one end. One turn of the handle will move the inner box 1.25 millimeters (which is the lead<\/a> of the rod).<\/p>\n

On the bottom of the outer box I’ve mounted two pieces of wood that fits into the grooves on the table saw to keep everything aligned.<\/p>\n

Even if it’s a rather crude prototype it makes box joints rather nicely:<\/p>\n

In time, when my Arduino project<\/a> is finished, the stepper motor will of course replace the handle and the electronics be mounted in a box but as a proof of concept I don’t think it’s that bad. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

I’m still debating with myself weather it should be a jig for the table saw or a jig for my router table since my table saw isn’t that good. Both ideas have good and bad sides…<\/p>\n
