Leon,
A question on the Leigh F1 making box joints. I had done some research
earlier and it stated that the F1 could not cut large box joints such as
3/4". But after reading your post I did more research and yes you are
right. Now, the question is how fast can the joints be cut compared to a
table saw jig which in my opinion can have some eror if you are not
watching closely. I have been thinking of a project that will need 200 +
sets of joints and I want them accurate. I would like both speed and as
accurate possible. I'm not asking much am I????? Thank you Terry


How long does it tale to insert a piece in the jig and clamp it down? The
template sets in one position to cut all your side pieces and then you slide
the template a predetermined distance and lock it in with an indexing pin.
Then you cut all of your front and back pieces. There is a bit if initial
tweaking of the guide bushing to insure proper fit however that is a 1 time
setting that you use over and over for each size pin. I mentioned that you
could use a 1/4" bit for 1/4" and larger pins however if you want to make
larger pins quickly you may want to consider the larger designated bit to
speed the process of cutting between the fingers.
The adjustable guide bushing determines the fit.
