I'm half way through a plan for this jig. If anyone wants a copy let me know.

I think it's the best home made one I've seen Steve simply because of the cam idea that controls the turn setting.

The youtube is great. Would like to see the sketch-up. Will help with me making for a router table version. Good find.

Please PM me with your email address for the drawings. Graham.
This looks like an interesting jig, I've been planning to build the Wandel gear box joint jig, this one might be just as good, simpler to make it looks like and I am not sure I would need the use of gear ratios.
OTOH Wandels plans are in metric (and have videos to help you build it), the ones the author linked are in inches and I looked over them and all those fractions are so hard to read its like ancient egyptian, I got a headache just looking at it.
A good thing about sketchup is I can convert it to metric there so I'm sending a PM.

Plans just sent Dennis, in Metric.
Note to others, the plans are metric by default, but are changed to imperial at the press of a button so let me know if you're a masochist and prefer to struggle with fractions.

You'll have to wait until you've got a few posts up, or post your email on the open forum Paul.

Instead of pressing a nut into the carriage block these are much better, and handy for other stuff too. I have a 2 in my router table top to take the clamp bolts on the fence.

I've been looking at this a bit closer now that I feeling a little less dead and I want to try and build the jig soon. I am wondering though, the original plans calls for 12mm plywood base while this one uses 18mm, any reason for the change of base thickness?
I'll probably use 12mm for the base and 18mm for the rest.
Another thing to consider is the thread pitch and the size of the blade you have. You should want the pitch to be even fractions of the blade kerf, so you can move the whole width of the blade with a certain amount of turns. I looked up the width oh my general purpose blade, a CMT orange and it's specced as 3mm wide kerf, and then I looked at metric thread pitches and an M10 coarse thread is 1.5mm, so two turns should equal one blade width. That should make for simpler math.
