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.
