Incra i-Box

[Moonsafari69]

Does anyone on the forum use an Incra i-Box. If so I’d be interested in your thoughts please. Thanks, Dave.

I have one.

I can say it is an absolute pig of a thing to set up.
My advice to you would be to watch the CD at least three times before trying to set up and to follow the instructions down to the letter.

Once it is set up it is a great bit of kit, you can make all sorts of box joints with it, 2 small at each end with a large one in the middle, you can create some lovely looking stuff with it.

Personally I think it is worth the money, others will think differently so it all depends on how much you will use it.

Thanks Garno. Do you use it with a dado stack or single flat kerf blades?

Also, is it as reliable / repeatable as the Incra videos suggest?

 

[Garno]

Neither,
I use mine with a router table, Using the saw is actually easier to set up.
As for reliability once set up the results really are good each and every time.

That’s good to know. Thanks for the quick replies, appreciated.

I ended up getting mine from Peter Sefton at woodworkersworkshop. you can find links on these forums.

Very helpful company and Peter is a very fair guy.

I have nothing to do with his company I am only going off the service I have had from them.

I don’t know what an incra I-box is but I made a box joint jig for use with my table saw from a few bits of scraps in about half and hour. It gives me perfect box joints every time.
