Needing to play with my new toy (a 24" omnijig), but not actually needing
any dovetails at the moment; I found that a 15/64" straight bit with a
7/16"
guide cuts a perfect box joint with the standard dovetail template. It is
good for up to 1/2" wood.

Have I discovered this, or have people been doing it for centuries? Okay,
it is not a big deal, but it is cheaper than buying the box joint
template.


Nothing new. Principle is gap equal to remaining wood, evenly spaced. May
vary with other jigs, though.

Making box joints on a router table is simplicity itself, with any size bit.
I wouldn't buy a box joint template for the jig.
