Picked up a Dado cutting blade and made a quick crosscutting sled jig to test it out last night. Took a bit of tweaking but it works now.
Finally I can make those finger joints! Unfortunately the mandrel on my table saw can only handle enough Dado blades to get me to a 1/2" thick cut.
Every plan I've seen calls for 3/4. Frankly I don't think it really matters. I'll just have more fingers in my boxes.
My Jig can handle two boards at a time but I am planning to build a bigger one that can handle four boards at a time so I can just make a whole box at once.
