I just did that. set the height of the bit a "skosh" higher than 1/2" and make your box joint cuts. I use the 1/4" bit. You DO know about the "blue" cuts and the "red" cuts, right? Dave

Can anyone tell me how to get one of the box joint templates for the incra system to work with 1/2" stock when they only go up to 3/8" for box joints? or tell me of an incra group, board, blog site, etc.



Thanks in advance for any info

Opps, damn I was not thinking. the thickness matters not just as long as the bit height is at least the thickness and yes I am aware of the blue and red cuts. Thanks for taking time to respond. you are most kind.

no problemo. After fiddling with dovetails, making box joints is a walk in the park! :)

This works great, and as you can see, it's not complicated.

course, if I paid the dough for an Incra, I'd make it brew tea, and bake biscuits to earn its keep.
