I have one and demo’d it to fellow forumites at the Joinery GTG. It is a very good jig, turns out excellent results and ONCE IT IS SET UP, it is intuitive and easy to use. Setting it up is a bit fiddly especially if you keep changing the width of the fingers but, if you are happy with sticking to one width, mine is set to 10mm, setting up is also quick and easy. One caveat however, I have only used mine on the saw bench with a dado blade wheras it can also be used on a router table and it seems that the ‘complication’ there is that on the saw bench the datum point is the measurable edge of the blade wheras on a router table, the datum is the centre of the router cutter. I had decided that IF I ever use it on n my router table, I’ll mount a 90 degree mitre router bit in the router which would give a measurable centre point for the set up?
All up, absolutely no regrets in buying and using it.

I have an I BOX and use it on a router table, and very pleased with it.
Take the time to read the instructions properly and you will be okay.

I forgot to mention that I have only used it with an 8mm router bit so far.

I have one on my SawStop and love it. I suggest the Forrest 2 piece finger joint blades. Easy set up and very precise.

No problem at all Col. I’m available most days with a bit of notice. At the Jointing get together (GTG) where most available jointing systems/jigs were in use for hands-on comparison, it seemed that the Incra Positioner, iBox and Hegner finger jointer were the best for finger joints but in VERY descending order of price and the Hegner is no longer available although it occasionally appears in the second hand market. The full Incra positioner does many many different joints and the iBox and Hegner were finger joints only.
