If ya cannot find a 10-24 tap, look for a 3/16-24 one!;)

I had a machinist tap for the screws for $15. I probably couldn't get a tap for that much. That is if I could find one up here. He tapped them at 10-24.
Had a bit of a problem getting the nylon washers to squeeze enough to make the bar tight in the miter slot. A little Lithium grease and a heat gun solved that problem.
All is good.
Thanks, everyone for your help.
And, Charlese, Your Eye-Box is on the list.

I'm really looking forward to hearing your report on how successful your box joint endeavor has become.

Dusty,
I'll be using it for some drawer box joints after I get the case done. At my rate of work, that may be in a couple weeks.

I'll be using it with a dado set which I had to send out to have reground. Although it was advertised to produce flat bottoms, it don't! It seems that every time I get a tool, it has to be modified.

Anyway, the sharpening service I use won't be back to work 'til 1/7. Should have the case done by the time the dado set gets back here.
I'll be sure to post a review of sorts when I use the I-Box.
