I've never made box joints before but I'm about to jump in this weekend. I am planning to use the plans for Lynn's box joint jig at the Leeway site (http://www.leestyron.com/lynnjig.php).
I am assuming that as the jig is used, the bottom of the jig support and the carriage are "eaten" by the saw. Is this correct?
Once you've made one pass, how do you bring the piece back for a second? Seems like you would clamp it down so you'd be forced to bring it back over the saw (a big no-no if running).
Any other tips for a first timer? I plan to practice on scrap until I've gotten the hang of it.
