4. set Depth of Cut

Set a piece of the wood prepared for your box on the

stock ledge and raise your cutter to a depth of cut

that will cut just slightly through your stock thickness,

Fig. 18. This will produce pins that will protrude only

slightly through the adjacent board when assembled.

These slight protrusions can later be sanded flush. For

a decorative look, the blade can be raised an additional

1/16” to 1/8” and the resulting “through” pins can be

hand chamfered with a sanding block.
5. Position and secure Blade Guard

Re-position the blade guard so that the view cutouts

on the front and rear guards align. Sandwich your test

cut board between the front blade guard and the fence

then tighten the black thumb nuts to secure the guard,

Fig. 19. The blade guard also functions as a vertical

stock support, so apply light pressure to hold the

blade guard against the stock as you tighten the thumb

nuts.
6. Make a test Cut

Stand your test cut piece on end on the blade side

stock ledge between the fence and the blade guard

and slide it up to contact the pin plates. Use a small

wooden handscrew clamp as shown to clamp your

board to the fence as shown,

Fig. 20. Plug in your

table saw or router table then make a test cut. Turn

off the motor after completing the cut.
7. Adjust Pin Plates to Fit test Cut

Loosen the Phillips screws that secure the pin plate

side stock ledge and either one of the thumbnuts

that holds the blade guard. Loosen the positioning

lock knob located on the top of the IBOX fence and

rotate the red knob to open or close the pin plates

until the test cut just made fits over the fingers on

the pin plates (Both pins should be inside the test

cut). You should feel a little friction when you raise

or lower the board but you don’t want it loose. You

can view the pin plates as they are adjusted through

the view cutout in the top of the blade guard, or you

can simply slide the blade guard to the stock ledge on

either side of the blade as shown,

Fig. 21. tighten

the positioning lock knob and the fasteners

that secure the pin plate side stock ledge.

If moved, re-position the blade guard and

re-tighten the thumbnuts. This pin plate

adjustment automatically sets the required distance

between the pins and the blade, so no further

adjustments are required. Now let’s make our box!
