Several years ago I bought a gizmo at a woodworking show called
AccuJig for making box joints.
It consists of a metal angle bracket with 1/8" slots spaced 1/8"
apart, with plastic templates that snap on blanking the unused slots
when working with various width pins and tails.
The gizmo has a bolt at each end to trap the pieces to be joined, and
is indexed by a 1/8" pin set on top of the crosscut miter gauge.
I can't remember how to set up the spacing for gang cutting a box.....
Google turned up nothing - anyone have a copy of the instruction
sheets that they could share?
Many thanks!

I purchased the same unit, looked easy at the show, after sitting on
the self for a few years I would pull it down from time to time but
could never quite figure it out. Well I finally reached my peace with
it, I gently placed it in the trash can and regained the space it was
taking up. I wish I could of make it work like I seen at the
woodworking show.
My bad - I got the name of the gizmo wrong - it's Accujoint.
Works great - I was just missing the 2nd dowel pin that's used to set
the opposite starting pin. I did have some tear-out, but for this
application (drawers fo my electrician's van) I'm using 3/4" pine, and
was a little sloppy setting up the auxillary miter fence.
Have photos and could provide setup instructinos if anyone is
interested....

This sounds like a Woodline product. If so, you may find the
instructions at their web site, www.woodline.com where they
have instruction .pdf files available.
