With finger joints it's at least as much about the bit as the jig. A
dovetail you can adjust by changing the depth. With a finger joint bit and
a jig either the bit's the right diameter or it isn't. It might be possible
to design a jig that allows the spacing to be altered easily by 1/100s of an
inch but I've never seen one.
Might actually be interesting to design.
