Build a Router Table Box-Joint Jig
Guido Henn's shopmade jig allows you to cut variably sized box joints on the router table.
Jul 10, 2007
Box joints, also known as finger joints, are a decorative and sturdy method for joining drawers, boxes, and carcases. The joint consists of interlocking fingers and sockets, which are easily cut with power tools.
Many woodworkers cut box joints with a dado blade on the tablesaw. But that’s not the only option. German woodworker Guido Henn designed a shopmade jig to cut variably sized box joints on the router table.

The PDF download link and the plans link both open only the plans page. There doesn't appear to be any way to see the PDF.
Right click on either link and select the option to save the file. It will download as a PDF.
There is no link to the step-by-step photo gallery of constructing the jig.
Only the plans are displayed. Where is the step by step or illustration/description of how to use the jig?
Right...only plans and cut list. Very nice, but how to use/adjust?
Posting this in 2023... There is still no link to photos and step-by-step instructions to build the jig. If anyone at Fine Woodworking is monitoring this comment section, could you please include the resources promised in the article subtitle?
The photos seem to be gone in the ether. I've added the video of it in use.
