As requested to be reposted to rec.woodworking:
The membership of The Spalted Board is doing something to help all
woodworkers.
Through the collective wisdom of all of the members we are designing
the Ultimate
Finger Joint Jig. We want to take a troublesome joint and make it easy
and
incredibly accurate. Then once we have a working plan we are going to
post the
plans on the site for anyone to have for free!
For more details, and to submit your ideas and suggestions, please

Thanks,

Given the parameters and some of the responses, I think the participants are
interested in intricate elegance - in the jig, not the result.
Incra, indeed! Watch the old bird on The Router Workshop adjust the fit
with a hammer once or twice. You really need precision....

Precision leads to accuracy. You make deeper than 1" fingers? I find 1"
with a spiral carbide is no sweat.
Not sure what you're looking for here. I read your site, and I feel there are
published jigs that handle that for both the router and the TS. The only issue
on the TS is getting a flat tooth blade, and anything thicker than 1/8 is
rather expensive.

Agreed, and I'll note that it is precision here that's more important than
accuracy. I have an old jig for the router, but haven't used it since I set up
the Incra. I sometimes need longer fingers than are convenient on the router,
and just bought a flat grind blade for the TS, so I'll be making a jig there.
