Description
To get right to the point, the new INCRA I-Box is the most advanced tool ever produced for creating a stunning variety box joints & finger joints. Its revolutionary design allows faster setup, greater versatility, and improved user safety compared to traditional jigs. At the same time, it's easy to use and the included 1-hour instructional DVD covers everything from basic setup to advanced decorative joinery. The I-Box is an evolutionary leap forward from conventional box joint methods - this single jig can be used on both your table saw and your router table, and the IBox's dual pitch lead screw mechanics easily micro-adjust joint tightness and provide a whopping 1/8-Inch - 3/4-Inch range of pin widths. It's capable of making good fitting box joints using any width cutter within that range into lumber from 1/4-Inch to 1-Inch thick. The advantages continue far beyond the basics: I-Box-exclusive joints like the Center Keyed Box Joint can be used to produce symmetric patterns rather than ending your joint with a partial pin as often required with other traditional box joint jigs. The Splined Box Joint is yet another INCRA-only decorative joint that's guaranteed to add wow-factor to your projects, and the I-Box can even be used to produce an unlimited variety of classic dentil mouldings. Nothing says "Craftsmanship" like adding solid wood hinges to your projects, and the I-Box can be used in conjunction with the INCRA HingeCrafter to produce wooden hinges in four different barrel diameters and in lengths up to 10". Works with the metric HingeCrafter, too. If you've been looking to improve your shop's joinery capabilities with a fast, versatile, and easy to use method for producing box joints of all descriptions, the INCRA I-Box is what you've been waiting for.

A well made (Heavily constructed extrusions) micro-adjustable box joint jig, so much better than all the shop-built jigs I have used in the past on both the table saw and router table. This jig is easy to use once you have it set up it is good to go forever or until you change blades or bits (can be used equally as well on table saws or router tables) then you need to do a 15 second realignment of the jig with a knob to zero it to the blade/bit, this thing is so easy to set up. Once set up to the blade/bit, you cut a single dado for the size finger you want and then you micro-adjust another knob for the actual size of the dado grove by placing the groove over the adjustable fingers of the jig and simply rotating the knob at the end of the jig to make the fingers just touch both sides of the test groove and you are ready to go. If after cutting a test the fit of the box joint fingers is not exactly as you would like them you just follow the directions and move the fingers slightly one way or the other, mostly I get it right to begin with so don't have to bother. Pricy, sure, but with saving all the time, money, wood, frustration and fiddling with test cut after test cut, this jig is a ray of sunshine in the shop. This thing is CHEAP (inexpensive cheap) in the long run if you are going to do a lot of box joints for a long time to come and it works great to make dental moldings too. Unless you park your truck on it often I don't see how this jig won't outlast you in the end. OK we all know some folks with whom nothing works for much longer than a week before they trash it but that is not the equipment's fault. I highly recommend this jig to you if ease of use and consistent results are importance to you. This is no cheapo plastic jig it is a big tough aluminum extrusion with double lead adjustment shafts for setting the pair of fingers, both adjustments are on the same shaft with one within the other so both knobs are located at the end of the jig on the same shaft and work in unison to set the jig to the blade kerf. If you keep a sample of a successful test cut as a template you can totally repeat an identical set of box joints in the future, especially useful with the INCRA HingeCrafter where you need exactly the same size box joints for every hinge of the same size in the future. Some folks fuss with things each and every time but I get it right once and keep a sample setup and never have to waste time again. I have made setup blocks or templates for anything I do more than once, then it is an easy decision to add some feature that you have the setup in the template box already to go, don't reinvent the wheel so to speak. As with any tool, especially adjustable ones, you need to know how it works and the correct way to set it up and when all else fails, please READ THE DIRECTIONS and you will have minimal trouble and it is quicker in the long run anyway, so don't guess then blame the equipment. Bottom Line: If you envision lots of box joints in your future or even occasional ones over a long time to come you owe it to yourself to check out this jig.

I love small wooden boxes, and the esthetic of the joinery used to make them. However, as a beginning woodworker, watching videos showing me how to make jigs I could use to cut box joints seemed a little too intimidating. Incra has a great reputation, so when I say their I-BOX jig on their web site, it immediately caught my eye. I did some You-Tube searches and found a couple of videos there--one a demo video created by Incra, and another by a third party--that made the I-Box jig look like an easy, sure fire way to get started on box joints. So, I ordered one through Amazon. The device requires a bit of assembly but the directions are quite thorough--better than a lot of power tools--so getting it put together was pretty easy. In the box, there is an invaluable DVD that walks you through the assembly and also shows you how to use the jig. I watched it a couple of times--more in a few places, because I had never cut a box joint before in my life--and then I was ready to make some sawdust. I mounted my Freud SBOX8 Box Cutter blade set on my saw, with it set up for 3/8 inch grooves, got the jig adjusted just like Incra said to do in the instructional video, and proceeded to cut my test piece. The test piece went fine, and so I proceeded to cut box joints in the four sides I had previously cross cut to use as box sides. I followed the steps Incra laid out in the video and in the instructions VERY carefully the first time. There is a sequence--and order of operations, if you will--that you must follow as you make your cuts to make the joints for all your four sides match up properly. To my happy amazement, I didn't mess this up, and so my sides all matched up perfectly--on my first try! I was able to make a nice looking, well fitting box joint with this Incra jig on my very first try. For a beginning woodworker like, not bad. My wife was very impressed when I showed her the result. And if I did it, pretty much anybody can. One thing I really like about this jig is that you can use it either with your table saw or with a router on a router table. I haven't tried the jig on the router table yet, but the how-to of that is fully covered in the Incra video so I will be giving a try. Summing up, if I was a really experienced woodworker, I would have likely been making my own jigs, but as a beginner, I found this Incra device gave me a great jump start in the art of making clean, precise box joints. If you are going to make these joints on your table saw, I do recommend a box joint cutter set, although you can use properly configured dado blades too. Once last thing. This Incra jig comes with a plexiglass blade shield as well as other safety measures that are explained in the video and in the written instructions that come with the product. Considering how much damage even the slightest contact with a rotating saw blade can do to a person, I cannot stress enough paying attention to all the safety information that comes with the I-BOX jig. You do have to remove the normal blade guard from your table saw to use this (or any other similar crosscut type jig), so using the jig safely with its safety guards properly in place is super important. Make sure you assemble and use the I-BOX jig as Incra instructs, wear safety glasses, and always, always know where your hands are, and keep them away from that blade.

Typical Incra, Very well constructed, moderately easy set up, good precession. Its a bit expensive for just a box joint jig but has a good working range and is the thing to own if you have may sided to cut. Pro Solid construction and good heft helps minimize vibration. Supports a wide range of pin sizes and continuously variable. - so if you what to use a 15/32 plywood router bit, you can. (not sure why you would but you can) Miter rail adjustable for very good fit in track (zero play makes for very constant pin fit) Fence blocks (thick piece with re top in pix) can be adjusted in to match wood thickness - Supports and holds your work piece. This works well enough that I find no need to clamp the wood to the rear fence as shown in video Excellent instructions and product video (On disc) Micro adjustment for pin tightness I find I can cut the two opposing sides at the same time with little to no loss in accuracy. Excellent stability. I can start / stop / remove .. use my machine for something else .. replace jig, and restart cutting more parts later while maintain a perfect fit. Not the normal thing to do. Con Not many - which they gave you more than one backer board. (do provide good drawing to make your own replacements) Set up can be a bit tricky to it precisely dialed in to your desired pin tightness. Now don't get me wrong, I have very quickly and easily whipped up boxes (1/8, 1/4, 1/2 pins) that went together ok BUT in some cases the final clearance was either a just little too lose or to tight for my liking. This is because the set up requires you to adjust the finger spacing so your test cut 'just' slides snugly over them. Just slides?? to snug or not snug enough and you have a fit that is a little lose or tight. With practice you do get used to a good snugness feel. Again, to be clear, I have NEVER built a joint that would not go together and usable, but (IMHO) were not ideal. Dialing it in is straight forward but requires you to make one or more test parts for a fit check prior to committing to your final stock. Not a real big deal and one you may or may not find necessary. Recap: Excellent box joint jig but a bit pricy. Many lower cost options (not as robust) are out there, as are home made jigs. But is you do a lot of box joints, THIS IS THE JIG TO GET

I've been woodworking, both professionally and as a hobbyist, since 1974. Over those years, my appreciation of the value of jigs has continued to increase. For example, using a circle cutting jig on my band saw allowed me to cut precision circles ranging from a couple inches to three feet in diameter. Box joints, or finger joints, make for strong joints and can add aesthetic value to a project. Laying out multiple box joints, individually cutting them and getting good, tight joints that fit is a daunting task for even seasoned woodworkers. Often, we end up with a sloppy fit of some or all of the joints, or joints that will not come together at all. Obviously, precision is critical for box joint projects. To that end, many of us build jigs, to allow us to make cuts that are both the exact same width and the exact same distance apart. Usually, such jigs are limited to a specific width of cut, requiring the exact, same set up each time its used. Too, if the jig is off mere thousandths of an inch to the blade, each successive cut will compound with the previous to produce pieces that will not join. In the end, you've wasted time and material. It has become my habit to consider reviews of things I am considering buying. The more reviews, the easier it is to form a sound opinion of a product. For the most part, everyone held the I-BOX in high esteem. The majority gave it five stars. Some gave it four, but many of those really had little or nothing negative to post. The three star and under ratings were few and sounded like they were inspired by good faith mistakes, shipping damages, preferences, or cockpit errors. I was hard pressed to attach importance to one star reviews. For example, that the miter slot bar did not fit a Shop Smith slot says more about the Shop Smith than the I-BOX, which defaults to the industry standard 3/8" deep by 3/4" wide miter slot. My appreciation and knowledge of jigs, bolstered by the general consensus of the reviews, prompted me to buy it and, once again, I am not displeased by my reliance on the experiences and opinions of others. Anxious to get working with this new tool, I started off making simple dentils. I was quickly impressed at the easy set up and how quickly I was able to work a four foot long board. A "heads up" to those wishing to work material thicker than 3/4": I tried a box joint on one inch thick material. The IBOX accepted it fine, but I quickly learned the limitation of using a six inch dado blade. It would not raise enough to deal with material that thick. It did, however, work fine with 3/4" stock. This, of course, is not a limitation of the IBOX, but, rather, one on the dado blade, when tackling thicker stock. Below are a few possible improvements to the INCRA IBOX. They would not affect function, but would improve ease of use: 1) Make the back guard lock downs taller, so we don't have to pretend to have dainty fingers. For example, many toilets come with long handled, disposable nut drivers for tightening the tank to the bowl. Something similar for the back side guard that extend slightly above the backing fence would make loosening and tightening them a breeze. 2) The front hold downs need to be replaced with larger ones. Since the locking bolts are a standard size, I used a couple knobs from my jig parts collection. It made loosening and tightening the front guard bolts much easier. I'd gladly have paid a buck more for this convenience. 3) I wrote a condensed version of the set-up sequence, sized it to fit flat, unused areas of the jig. I laminated it and glued it to the jig to help refresh my memory when I haven't used the jig for a while. Though I believe this unit can be improved (e.g, the inventor posted a nice Plexi cover he made for demonstrating the I-BOX, which made checking material position easier), I still think it at the top of its game, right down to that the guards do a great job of containing chips and dust created during use. None the suggested improvement should, even remotely, be considered deal breakers. To summarize, this jig makes woodworking fun by making it a bit easier to produce reliable, accurate joints.

Once again, Incra hits it out of the park with this wonderful jig. I am finishing up a portable cabinet in which I keep model paints, small hand tools, spare model bits and the current project on which I am working (I have inquisitive cats, so I needed something which would keep them from carrying off model parts). The cabinet has several drawers; one external and two internal. I keep my acrylic paints in the external drawer, but wanted to be able to stack them and group them, possibly through using little trays. The more I thought about it, I also decided I wanted to make little wooden trays for the hand tools, paint brushes, and spare model bits. I had been looking at the Incra iBox Box Joint Jig for some time, but had no justification for the purchase...until now. Having already purchased Incra's Miter 1000HD and absolutely love it, so my expectations for Incra's iBox Box Joint Jig were quite high. Amazon delivered the package within two days (yay, Amazon Prime!). The shipping box was in good condition and the Incra iBox Box Joint Jig was well cushioned inside with a bunch of crumply brown packing paper. The colorful retail box was undamaged (and surprisingly heavy). Giving my wife a quick peck on the cheek and a hearty "I'll be in the garage for a few hours!", I raced to the garage with my new toy under my arm. As with Incra's Miter 100HD, the iBox Box Joint jig is well-packaged. I inspected each part as I removed it from the retail box; the GlideLOCK(tm) Miter Bar is zip-tied to a piece of cardboard, so you will need a pair of nippers to free it. All parts were present and accounted for, and all were in pristine condition. Two bags of screws, T-track nuts and bolts were clearly labeled with their contents. The retail box also included full color assembly and usage instructions, as well as a DVD. Assembly was fairly straightforward as I had already downloaded and read the instructions prior to the arrival of the Incra iBox Box Joint Jig. The photographs provided much needed clarity to the written instructions and proved invaluable in a couple of steps. Not addressed anywhere in the instructions was what to do with the three strips of UHMW tape included in one of the parts bags. My presumption is that they are meant to be applied to the bottom of the stock ledges, so that's where I applied mine, as well as one place where the jig slightly scraped the table saw top. I had the INCRA iBox Box Joint jig assembled in about 20 minutes, and I had already prepared a couple of scrap pieces of wood for a test cut. Since the scrap wood I had prepared was narrow, I wanted to try some small cuts, so I installed just the two outside blades of my Freud SD208 8-Inch Professional Dado blade. The usage instructions were accurate, and again, the photographs which accompanied the steps were very useful, although as a professional technical writer of 30+ years I would have formatted the steps in a different manner as I did have to read a couple steps two or three times for them to make sense (but that may just be me and how I process information). I adjusted the Incra iBox Box Joint jig, according to the instructions, to make 1/4-inch cuts. Within 5 minutes I had a pair of nicely mated pieces of wood. The joint was beautiful, snug and crisp with zero tearout. The snugness of the joint was not overly tight, nor was it too loose. All it took was a couple of well-placed taps with my rubber mallet and the two pieces were firmly mated. Also, the instructions show a wooden handscrew clamp being used to secure the project piece during cutting operations, but I used an Irwin 12" Quick Grip clamp, which I believe greatly sped up the process by allowing me to use one hand to rapidly clamp or release the project piece from the jig while using the other hand to move the project piece after each cut. The Incra iBox Box Joint Jig works perfectly in my Bosch 4100-09 table saw. The GlideLOCK(tm) Miter Bar does wobble when the whole assembly is slid back away from the dado blade. This is due to the rear GlideLOCK(tm) mechanism exiting the miter slot and losing contact. It does re-enter the miter slot prior to the project stock making contact with the dado blade, so the only real issue I foresee is additional wear on the rear GlideLOCK(tm) mechanism as it makes initial contact with the edge of the table saw's miter slot. Fortunately I have a couple spare GlideLOCK(tm) mechanisms, so I don't expect this to be a critical issue for several years. I have yet to view the DVD and I will update this review once I have. All-in-all, I am very pleased with the Incra iBox Box Joint jig. It's ease of setup and ease of use means that I will be able to create beautiful boxes and trays in little time. Thanks, Incra!

Purchased the I-BOX some weeks back. As to quality and function, all positive comments by both manufacturer and purchasers are dead on. This is a very cleverly engineered and manufactured tool. Very robust equipment. I have always been intrigued by "box joints", but didn't think I could ever exercise the precision required to actually do them in my shop. With this tool, I'm executing beautiful, perfectly fitting fine box joints ... in minutes. But, be forewarned ... the out-of-the-box learning curve, for me anyway, was steep. You must be patient, take the time, and work through the steps carefully. I promise, the discipline is well worth the effort. The only glitch I ran into was, I'm sure, a minor production issue. One small screw had not been sufficiently countersunk, and protruded into the specification clearance for the saw blade passage way. But, by having checked the clearance by manually rotating the blade (with power disconnected of course!), the interference was caught. A call to the helpful guys at Incra support led to a simple solution. The counter-sink depth was very carefully increased and all has worked beautifully since. And, by the way, the support staff at Incra have just been great. Setup is easy. Although I would certainly suggest test runs on scrap before starting on your good wood. One of the really nice features is the capability to make micro (literally thousandths) adjustments to the fit of a joint run. Too tight? Loosen the locking knob, hold one knob while tweaking the center knob to the calibrated thousandths marks, re-lock, test cut again, repeat until you have the fit you want. Before purchasing the Incra, I actually built my own jig for box joints. Getting anything like a snug fit was very, very difficult ... compared to ... the Incra is magic. I suggest heading immediately to your nearest hardware supplier, and purchasing a sizable piece of MFD board. Used for the sacrificial back workpiece support. I needed a fresh surface frequently to help prevent tear-out and give really clean slots. The tool comes with an extremely well-done dvd that details both table saw and router setups. I would urge new users to view the materials. Carefuly. I made numerous notes to help as I began working with the tool. It's helpful to see the device being set up, and in use. As an 80-ish old man, I greatly appreciated both the quality, and the patient support I've received from the Incra organization. I found the dvd and very well done owner's manual indispensable. So ... yeah, in a heartbeat, I'd buy again ... though can't see why I would ever have to. And whole-heartedly recommend this tool to others who want the capability of doing excellent box/finger joints.

Best jig I have ever owned. I was a little concerned after reading reviews about how difficult it was to set up and some people having difficulty getting it to work properly. I don't know if I received an updated model or what, but it is certainly NOT difficult to set up or use. Fine tuning it did take a few practice joints, but it is incredibly easy to use. I simply followed the provided DVD instructions that I played on my laptop in my small shop. I would highly recommend this jig for its ease of use and high precision. The micro adjustment makes it easy to get the perfect fit. I wish I had this jig years ago. I would have made a lot of things differently. I know my question when I read a review is always, "Is this a pro or a beginning DIY guy saying this?" Well, I am not a beginner when it comes to DIY type stuff. But I am no where near a professional either. I would put myself in the average DIY to slightly above average DIY type. I am using this jig on my dewalt, portable table saw. I don't have the space (or money) for the nice Powermatic cabinet Table saw. I have been able to get some beautiful joints on my little dewalt with this jig. I do not write many reviews, but thought this tool deserved a good review. If you are serious about making nice joints, this is hands down the right tool for the job. I know it's a little pricey (at least I thought it was) but it is definately worth every cent. You will save yourself a lot of frustration making a fixed jig for every size finger joint you may want to use for various projects. If you're using different size fingers, you'd be foolish not to buy this jig. On second thought, don't buy the jig. I'll be happy to let you pay me to make box/finger joints for you!

I have had a long fondness for box joints, many times preferring them over dovetail joints. To each his own I guess. During the past 40 years of woodworking I have used just about every jig imaginable, from dozens of shop built jigs to many "store bought" premanufactured, and VERY expensive jigs. Some are good, most however are clumsy, single purpose jigs and amazingly, some of the most expensive ones were the worst. I bought THIS jig, with a jaundiced eye but the videos I saw on YouTube were impressive. Like everything Amazon, delivery was lightening fast. They still amaze me at their ability to send things all over the continent within a few days, FOR FREE, to Premier customers. Just amazing. But, as to the Incra jig. This is, without a doubt the very best box joint jig I have ever used. It is easy to assemble and both the printed instructions and accompanying DVD are incredibly clear and easy to follow. The unit is well engineered and flawlessly manufactured. It is bot rugged, yet retains the delicate side required for fine adjustments for tight fitting joints. On my very first cut, the fingers (pins) were too small and the joint was sloppy, but not exceedingly so. After a single adjustment (following the printed instructions), the following joint was flawless. And by flawless....................I mean FLAWLESS. Perfect. The jig is also versatile, enabling the woodworker to produce numerous different styles of box joints. In the end, this jig is FINALLY what I have been looking for. It works well on either the table saw or the router bench. I prefer the table saw but I've used it on the router table as well. I love box joints. They are incredibly strong and very pleasing to the eye. This jig empowers users to produce a dizzying aray of different joints and it is FAST, and ACCURATE. It is light years ahead of ANY jig I have ever used before, and I've used them ALL short of the hand made "gear advance" box joint jig seen on YouTube which is AMAZING! I love this unit. Five stars. Hands down. Five stars.
