The INCRA IBOX is built around one of INCRA’s exclusive dual-pitch lead screw mechanisms that allows for quick micro adjusting as well as dialing in a huge range of pin widths from 1/8" to 3/4"! The INCRA IBOX registers to your table saw or router table with their exclusive INCRA GlideLOCK miter bar that fits standard 3/4" x 3/8" miter slots but has an adjustment range of 0.740" to 0.762" to fit the ever-frustrating slots of equipment made by people like Sears. The INCRA IBOX is very mainstream in its tool requirements.
It works just fine with stacked dado sets and dedicated box joint blade sets or router bits. About the only thing that the INCRA IBOX won’t do is work with a wobble dado blade. This DVD walks you through setting the jig up the first time, making simple box joints, center keyed and splined versions.

Both platforms are covered completely in the very nicely done instructional manual and DVD that comes with the INCRA IBOX. For this review I will focus on the table saw because more people have them but using the INCRA IBOX on the router table is essentially the same. The INCRA IBOX can be used on standard table saws (left or right tilt) or router tables. Aluminum extrusions (right) make up the fence and the material platforms that keep everything stable. The IBOX is built around a fully adjustable INCRA miter bar (left) that lets you dial out all of the side-to-side play. To make the INCRA IBOX even more attractive, it is Made In America! The Basics And yes they are equally solved for both new and the veteran woodworkers who will man up and admit their homemade jig is more work than it is worth. That is often followed by much sanding or rasping to loosen a super tight joint.Įnter the INCRA IBOX and your problems are solved. Because everything about a box joint jig has to be dead on perfect or it doesn’t work, the build-it-yourself idea often results in building several junk jigs before the perfect-enough one is achieved. The reality is that the box joint is one of the most size-sensitive joints in existence with that sensitivity rising exponentially as the number of fingers grows. I regularly see self-appointed forum experts advising new woodworkers to “just build a box joint jig” and get used to this joint before moving on to more complicated forms of joinery. One of the truly twisted things in woodworking is the box (finger) joint being touted as a “simple” or “basic” joint. INCRA IBOX Perfect box joints for mortal woodworkers Works with the metric HingeCrafter, too.Finally, there is a truly simple box joint jig that also makes it easy to adjust the fit of a box joint! NO, this isn't a dream! Nothing says "craftsmanship" like adding solid wood hinges to your projects, and the I-Box can be used in conjunction with the INCRA HingeCrafter to produce wooden hinges in four different barrel diameters and in lengths up to 10". The Splined Box Joint is yet another INCRA-only decorative joint that's guaranteed to add wow-factor to your projects, and the I-Box can even be used to produce an unlimited variety of classic dentil mouldings! The advantages continue far beyond the basics: I-Box exclusive joints like the Center Keyed Box Joint can be used to produce symmetric patterns on any width lumber, allowing you the flexibility to create joinery that matches existing project plans rather than altering board widths to fit the limited possibilities of traditional box joint jigs. It's capable of making good fitting box joints using any width cutter within that range into lumber from 1/4" to 1" thick. The I-Box is an evolutionary leap forward from conventional box joint methods - this single jig can be used on both your table saw and your router table, and the I-Box's dual pitch lead screw mechanics easily micro-adjust joint tightness & provide a whopping 1/8" - 3/4" range of pin widths. At the same time, it's easy to use and the included 1-hour instructional DVD covers everything from basic setup to advanced decorative joinery. Its revolutionary design allows faster setup, greater versatility, and improved user safety compared to traditional jigs. The INCRA I-Box is the most advanced tool ever produced for creating a stunning variety box joints & finger joints.
