It's designed to mount on any miter gauge and will work great on your router table (or, if you're so inclined, you also can use it on your table saw). Make the face and the mount from cabinet-grade plywood and the stop from hardwood. If you wish, you can make several different faces, each with a different-sized stop. This will enable you to cut different sizes of finger joints. To use the jig, screw or bolt the mount to a miter gauge. Loosen the wing nuts that secure the face to the mount and slide the face sideways until the stop is the proper distance away from the bit. When the stop is positioned properly, tighten the wing nuts. 5/i6" x 11/2" carriage bolt, washer & wing nut / Exploded view Top view 5/i6" wd slot with 3/4" c'bore Variable—.
