    alternative Miter gauge. The only difference is the handle, this is from aluminum instead of Brass and it is 80mm instead of 85 mm tall. But it has a better price.

    ! W A R N I N G ! In this video, I showed you a way how to use the Box joint jig for making finger joints with a single blade table saw. This is not how it is supposed to use. This works only if your blade is the same size as the box joint pin's. About 3 mm
    You normally use this box joint jig with a router.

    The product from this review was sent to me by Banggood for testing.
    This does not mean that I do get all my products. I review also a lot of products I bought myself.
    I started these reviews because from my experience not every tool from China was worth buying. So I wanted to make in-depth reviews to show you which products you should consider and which product you better leave alone. The fact that banggood sent me products occasionally does not change the way I make my reviews. I still give in-depth reviews and give you my honest opinion!
    On this, you can count on!
    I have a lot of woodworking tools from China. I bought them all on Banggood.com. But you can buy them probably also from sites like alibaba.com, Aliexpress.com and Ebay.com
    I have a good experience with Banggood.com and they have a lot of woodworking tools nicely organized on their site.

I absolutely love your work, especially the workbench and the drill press station, I have a drill press on my wish list, so the station can wait a while, but I am definitely going to have a go at the workbench as my old one just isn't practical anymore. Looking forward to seeing more of your inspiring video's. Stay safe.

    Great review. I've looked at both of these before. Ultimately I went with an Incra v120 miter gauge because I found a Christmas sale that put it at the same price point. I am happy to see the box joint jig is a worthy buy.
    I love your work station BTW. That's awesome!

    Nice Job, I purchased one of these miter gauges before watching this video and yes I am very happy with it and to get the confirmation from an expert. However, I reckon the price is really worth it and it has opened up a lot more building options that I never considered in the past.

    the finger joint jig is the perfect solution for a manufacturing problem i struggle with. I build beehive boxes with fingers that are wider than my dado set for beehive boxes. The jigs I have made were not accurate and stable enough. I tried using rabbet joints but they are not stable enough for continuous outdoor exposure because of the amount of end grain. Even with crown staples they pull apart over time. Thanks for the video and for pointing out this product.

  • @FritsBlaasbaard
    @FritsBlaasbaard Před 4 lety

    Another great video Dennis. It's a shame I don't have space for a table saw, cause that looks like one very fine miter guage! Have to say I'm quite jealous on all the beautifull tools you see flashing by in 2 second shots! I do also own the Bridge City Tool Works try square, definitely not necessary, but boy is it a beautifull square every time you use it :)

  • @robinradema1

  • @carl-henrikberntsson5954

    After rebuilding my bosch tablesaw to fit the "standard" miter gauge, I could finally use this box joint jig. After some test pieces I was able to make a small box, that I was very happy with. I only had to look at your video 50 times first😆. Thank you so mutch for the "how to use the jig part".

  • @gerardbroussard6336
    @gerardbroussard6336 Před 3 lety

    Dennis, thoroughly well done, as with all your videos. I noticed that you cut away a section of the composite fence material to align with the opening in the aluminum part of the fence to accommodate passage of router bits and a saw blade. I’m curious to know how you determined the spacing between the composite material cut from the box joint jig. Also, I suppose the maximum width of the composite material cut out would be equal to the aluminum side opening. I just received the miter gauge fence combo and am impressed. Thanks for any input you can provide and Happy Holidays!

  • @briantaylor9266
    @briantaylor9266 Před 3 lety

    Incra makes a very similar miter gauge (model V120). The difference is that it has detents at every degree. I prefer this, and the cost difference between it and the DrillPro is not that much, at least here in Canada.
    Thanks for the great reviews.

    • @HookedonWood
      @HookedonWood  Před 3 lety

      Hi Brian, THe INCRA V120 is a very nice miter gauge. In our country it cost twice as this one. So, I think it will depends on were you life. That said there are some differences. This one uses a big thicker material and INCRA build it more stable because of construction. Both are good enough. This one, is more beautiful (for what is worth it). But for similar prices, I would buy a Incra product too.

    Hi Dennis,
    first of all I like your videos and projects.
    But as a professional woodworker I have to comment on a very important thing and that is safety.
    !!!!! Never ever work with gloves on any machinery with turning parts or tools like a sawblade!!!!
    If they are caught they will pull your hand into the machine with ugly results.
    So please prefer some rough tough hands with splinters and blisters. Far better than loosing your fingers!
    Keep up your good work! Looking forward to your next video!

  • @boomerangfreak
    @boomerangfreak Před 2 lety

    I just bought this mitre gauge with the box joint jig, although I currently don't really have a use for a box joint jig it still would make a great face and I know I'll just end up using box joints sooner or later.
    Just paid shy of €78 for the gauge, jig and even a flip stop so totally not a bad deal

      @boomerangfreak Před 2 lety

      Got playing with it today, the mitre gauge just seems splendid when set up. But, so far I haven't yet been able to get a finger joint cut properly. Like it hasn't even been close and I am not sure what I've been doing wrong.

  • @whomadethatsaltysoup
    @whomadethatsaltysoup Před 2 lety

    Hi Dennis, an update to my previous post regarding this mitre gauge and the Evolution Rage 5s. I recently went ahead and purchased this excellent looking product. I did so based on the fact that it is supposed to come with a 'standard' 19 mm mitre track bar. Alas, whilst this is the case, the depth, 9.5 mm, renders the mitre gauge useless on my table saw, as it sits 2.5 mm proud of the table. This means that it, along with the stock being cut, rocks up and down.
    I wonder if there is an alternative mitre bar that is compatible with this gauge.

    Thank you very much for your honest reviews. I see you use a lot of T-track screws and dovetail screws. Because it's a little difficult to buy international orders because of the long wait for delivery times to South Africa I would rather buy my screws and fittings in set form instead of individual units, please review sets of your most used screw sets from banggood. I appreciate your reviews very much. Thank you.

    Hi Dennis. Great videos, keep it up. When will you be reviewing the pocket hole jig? Building a wardrobe soon and looking for a jig to put the carcass together. Hoping you'll be posting it soon

    • @HookedonWood
      @HookedonWood  Před 3 lety

      I want to start next week with a new episode of China tools. But that are with different other products. After that, probably 2 weeks later I think I do the pocket hole jig. I want to make a platform for it that I can show. Based on what I do know now. Is that is it a good jig. I prefer it almost in any circumstance to the Kreg pocket hole. The only thing is, that the bushings in the Kreg are a bit more tight then on this Banggood pocket hole jig. I want to do some more testing about what this mean when working with it. Although there is slightly more play on the bushings when you drill bit is in it, you do not feel or see a difference when using it. This is because if it is in the wood, it does not move at the underside. The difference in play is just very small. (So, I do not think it is a problem)
      But it clamps better, It is more robust then the Kreg. The piece that hold the wood in place is bigger and softer and this make working with the jig much more convenient. You feel de difference between when you work with them. I think everyone will blindly choose the Banggood over the Kreg for that. I like the mounting of the dust extraction over the Kreg and the way you set the hight of the guide block is way better then that from Kreg.
      So, I think you can not go wrong with the Banggood pocket hole. I wanted to invest more time in the material used in the banggood pocket hole for the bushings because I think that of the Kreg is from a better material. But with the banggood pocket hole jig it is painted and with the kreg it is shiny aluminium. But perhaps it is also aluminium under the paint. That is the only thing that hold me back on this moment a little bit. But I think you will be satisfied with both and based on the one project I did so far with the banggood pocket hole I would buy that one. It is just more solid when using it.

      I would only buy one with dust extraction. not everyone gets this. The problem is of course dust, but also that it is accumulating in the holes. So, I Would prefer with dust extraction. Further, you will see that some are complete sets with drill bits and some have non. The drill bit looks good, but I think I would buy the screws from Kreg, these Kreg screws need a square driver. You can buy both from Kreg. Screws are similarly priced as on Banggood but I think Kreg screws are easier available when you need them. I think all models that looks the same, are the same. So i would choose the one you like or with the best price. I have this one: www.banggood.com/custlink/DmDYWo4mQv

    Another well done in depth review! I just received mine and agree with your findings, it is a very nice and practical tool. One thing I noticed is that the black expansion rings in the miter bar seem to be a softer and more flexible plastic than the white rings Incra uses. Wondering what your experience has been with the black rings wearing down and how well they stay properly adjusted so the miter gauge slides freely but without side to side play. Thanks!

    I see you use metal gauges to set your table saw blade angle. How do you feel about using a magnetic digital angle finder that is attached to the blade? I'm thinking about getting one of those because it would make making fine adjustments to the blade angle easier.

    • @HookedonWood
      @HookedonWood  Před 3 lety +1

      This finger joint is not meant to use it the way I showed. It is made for router bits. Advantage is that you can use it for multiple bit sizes. What I showed is just a way you can also use it. But you need a saw blade with a flat teeth. And Other than the USA, it is hard to get here in Europe. Those blades are pretty expansive. so the question is, if it is the best solution. But if you have such a blade, yes it works only if your blade is at the same size as the pin of this boxjoint jig. That will be around 3mm.

    Hi all! I need some advice because it seems I’m stuck. I’ve been trying to make a box joint with my table saw and this exact WNEW miter gauge/ box joint jig. I’ve seen various folks using and it looks straight forward enough however I can’t get it right. After a billion test cuts I’ve managed to get the settings dialed and i made a 3 pin joint test piece - fits pretty well! However when i go to cut my actual piece (which has around 12 pins) my 2 parts don’t line up. The first pins are ok and fit perfectly but as I go further down my piece the size of the pins gradually gets larger / size of the holes gradually gets smaller. I have no idea what is causing this… the process is always the same, the metal bracket on the miter gauge is tight, nothing is moving… Any thoughts on what i might be doing wrong? Thanks.

    Hi Dennis, I purchased this miter gauge and box joint jig/fence based on your recommendation. One of the screws which attaches the box joint fence to the miter gauge is stripped. The other 3 tighten down just fine. Do you have any suggestions on how to repair this? Also, I'm a little confused about the proper way to square this to my table saw blade. My blade has been adjusted to a dead 90 degrees to my miter slots and table saw fence. Is the big brass knob the only thing I need to tighten down after I get it squared up to the blade or are there any other screws that need to be tightened down? Thank you very much. I always enjoy your reviews and both your shop and your woodworking skills are just mind blowingly awesome. Sadly, we cannot get the valcromat (high density fiber board) that you used for your tables. I love the black. Looks so clean and professional. Cheers from California!

    I needed a miter gauge and bought this particular one after seeing your video, thanks!
    It seemed to be a nice 2-in-1 solution, as it is possible to use it as a normal miter fence and as a box joint jig. However, I found out that, because of the box joint gap, it is not suited for mitercuts in smaller workpieces, as it lacks support for these pieces. Therefore, I am looking for a quality miter fence (no gauge) that does not break the bank. I watched your newest video, but still don't know where to find a seperate quality fence with measuring and a stopblock included. Any advice is much appreciated!

    Another great video. I may order that box joint fence/jig. I have the INCRA miter guage. Will it attach and work the same?

    • @HookedonWood
      @HookedonWood  Před 4 lety

      No, it is not significantly better then the INCRA. It has a nicer fit and finish as the INCRA. It also has a thicker plate than the INCRA, but the INCRA is build from steel and did more to give a better stability. But when using it, The NEW is stable enough and the INCRA is Nice enough! So, when you work with them they are practically the same. If you have a INCRA, keep it and love it, because is think it is a very nice product. The joint box fence fits on the INCRA and works the same. I do not know if you use it with a dado / router bit or that you use it with a normal table saw blade. If you use it with a dado/router bit, they have a nice template so you can easily set it up.
      The way I used it with the normal table saw is not the way it is meant to be. But I think it is the easiest way to do it. I even prefer it, doing this way instead with my router table. I do not have seen anyone do it this way. Anyway, it is a flexible unit for finger joints.
