Two jigs to share
-
I hate dado set ups on small machines. I hate the whooshing sound they make as they take my arm off.
I'm gonna have to look at your idea, esp the screw fine adjuster, cos thats where it all happens.
How would that work exactly?

I actually like the whooshing sound better than the high pitch whine of a single blade. And with proper methods including a slower feed rate, the thing isn't really any worse than a single blade. The worst part for me is that mine drags up sawdust out of the case under the table and blows it around the shop. I should be more religious about using my dust collector on the saw all the time.
Let me see if I can do a quick sketch for you.

I found pictures of an adjustable box joint jig.
Here's a view from the front. The "spacer" or guide pin is attached to the front vertical fence as is the hardboard base on which the work sits. The front vertical fence is bolted to the rear fence though short slots. You might make those slots longer to accommodate a wide variety of widths. The guide pin on this jig is to the right of the blade from the operator's view.
View from the rear. there's supposed to be an adjusting screw in that little square brown piece at the near end. This is the fine adjuster.
Does that shed an light?

But in the sober light of day the jig does make a lot of sense, I will have to knock one up for the next job.

No worries, my friend. You had a good excuse.
I'm glad it makes more sense, now.
How's your head?

Maybe you need a little hair of the dog.
Actually, a litre of water would probably help.
