Who has/is familiar with the 556422 Shopsmith Version Incra I-Box Box Cutting Jig.

I have successfully made, with help from our experts here, both box joints and finger joints making my own jigs. It is not all that hard, but it does take time and alot of "adjustments" to get them right. I have quite a few box and finger joints to do coming up on a project I am on and I was just wondering if the Incra jig is what it proposes to be and is worth the 169 dollars.

Thanks in advance!

I just picked one up fron EBay. Open box from a hardware vendor. I had to order the Shopsmith miter bar to fit my 500. We will have to compare notes.

I do not recall any 'negative' reviews(except for an initial(corrected) problem).

Reible reviewed it when it first came out.

A few others have raved about it.

I have one and use it on both my router table and MK V 500. Makes it easy. My only advise to any who use it is once your happy with the spacing, do NOT adjust until after final fit of all joints. Last box I made somehow I managed to lift two different sides or something kept the sides from setting all the way down and two cuts were shallow by juuust enough. Once the setting on the incra is adjusted you'll never get that exact one back. Width of the dado or the blade height.

Are you saying that after any change in depth or width is made (say for some subsequent project) that I will not be able to go back and match pieces made with the first setup. No repeat-ability????

No detents, = probable lack of recreation.
