Actual Joint Sizes
The Superjig finger assembly was originally designed solely for dovetailing. Adapting the assembly for box jointing
was a serendipitous combination of luck (existing guides approximately the correct dimension) and clever design;
the e7-Bush and Spacer.
So the nominal
5
⁄16" and
5
⁄8"[8 and 16 mm] box joint sizes are actually
21
⁄64" and
21
⁄32" [8,3 and 16,7mm]
respectively.
