Lots of box joint jigs around, but squaring the end of the miter gauge to the TS edge is new to me. Thanks, Rob!

Nice one Rob
I built my box joint jig off the cross cut sled, but this is pretty neat, especially the blocks on tbe other end of the arm for straightness

Really like this jig design. I've put off doing this for ages because building a sled and then setting everything else up just seemed like too much work when I could just break out my Kreg jig. ;) I'm not exactly a fine woodworker...
