INCRA I-Box Jig for Box Joints

I have always enjoyed Incra tools and equipment, because they do make thing's easier to work with. Really first class .

Cracking jig - been after one for ages and lives right up to expectations. Many options are available in this field, but the unique compensating screw mechanism is a work of beauty.

Easy to set up just follow the video. You'll be ready to cut in 15 min. Does a great job.
Only complaint is the slider is bowed and cause rocking.

Bought this machine from Wood workers workshop. I must say that it is worth every penny. Once it is set up it really easy to do box joints. Made my own in the past but this one takes the biscuit, strongly recomend this product.
Buy it from Wood workers workshop. Delivery perfect

INCRA I-Box Jig for Box Joints

דף

first class service. great product .well packaged and excellent delivery service. and i have just ordered another item from this company highly rec

I was concerned that only two screw heads in the adjustment slot keep the jig tight against the mitre bar right angle bracket. I drilled & fitted a taper pin to the bracket to hold it entirely solid after checking very carefully & then made a similar bracket and fitted that one tight against the front edge. It is entirely out of the way under the plate that the work piece sits on.
This is a very nice jig and I am delighted with it.

My review covers two aspects. The supplier then the IBox.
I hesitated to purchase the INCRA IBox due to some bad reviews. Eventually, I went ahead and have no regrets. However, I was disappointed when I began to assemble the jig. Two of the holes in the miter bar, that are used to attach the jig to hadn't been tapped & therefore threaded. I phoned Wood Workers Workshop immediately. By mid-morning the next day a replacement arrived with pre-post-paid packaging to return the faulty miter bar. The only reason that persuaded me to go ahead with the purchase was this company's reputation for customer care. Yes, I was disappointed, but jig was manufactured and packaged by INCRA in the US, so 5 satrs to Wood Workers Workshop.
I wrote to INCRA as I feel it's inportant manufacturers get this feedback - Oh dear, I received a reply which indicated that they didn't even read my email. I told them the problem had been resolved, but they said they would contact the supplier about the faulty micro-adjust knob!
INCRA need to read these reviews and get a grip of their quality control checks when they bost their jigs are the best on the market.

I had been mulling over getting this jig, trying to justify it to myself over the cost of a locking mitre bit. It was really simple to put together, and my first “test” piece was faultless in 10mm oak. I will be making a lot more boxes using the iBox. The end results are outstanding!

Received the jig in good time and in good order , well packaged .
On inspection there was 1 small machine screw missing,frustrating because I don' have a screw of the same size.
The jig itself looks very well made and finished.
When I went calibrate the tool problems arose
The red adjustment nob is very hard to turn and dose not move the pins or open them or advance them , so I went to the instruction video again, and its now obvious I have a faulty unit.
Returning the item is a non runner, I purchased it on line from another country. So its on the top shelf in the workshop, waiting to be cannibalized.
A very regretful purchase.

Excellent design but mitre bar spacer adjustment screws very very stiff and hex socket stripped so had to use dremmel to cut slot in screw
Very good on bench saw for 3mm pins but router table use not so easy needing care due to break out on wider joints and collett extender to get depth of cut
Longer rear mitre bar on bench saw would be benefit to avoid jig lifting when drawing back
I fitted rear blade guard box using mdf to protect hands and stop lifting when pulling back from blade
Altogether neat idea and microscopic adjustment of joints so easy with double screw mechanism
Shame i have not got dado saw though !!

On receipt eager to used. I watched DVD and read manual. Then set up as per. On cutting my first finger joint it failed to fit. After 2 days of trying I contacted INCRA direct. They responded with some simple hacks which I feel should be in the supplied manual and DVD. Nice piece of kit information lacking.

This makes very accurate box joints, once you watch the dvd and start making then its very intuitive. I am very happy.
Excellent service from WoodWorkers Workshop. Thankyou

Seems to work OK but have not had a full opportunity to put it though its paces.

My ibox is still in its box. I ordered it as soon as it became available, just in case it went out of stock again. Looking forward to my Xmas break when I get to play with this present to myself!

Fantastic addition to my workshop. For box making it is excellent and versatile in that it can be used on table saw or router table.
Wish I had bought it years ago

Very good

Shipped quickly and works great!

Arrived safely, from transportation, in a timely manner.
I have opened the package to check it’s contents, which all look fine.
I have not used the jig to make anything yet but am happy with my purchase at this point.
It is also worth mentioning that “Woodworkers” support has been good during my last few purchases

As well thought out as I have come to expect from Incra. Great for everything from strong corners to striking effects with contrasting wood and variation in finger size. I have already produced some heavy duty storage drawers, serving trays, and a keepsake box in 10 days since setting up..

Used it for 3 boxes and I found it easy to use and very accurate

After some time learning the procedure of set up and a bit of fettering to the mitre bar, I managed to produce excellent and consistent box joints. Care has to be taken to the set up and it really has to be precise, after that it is plain sailing to produce good box joints. Looking to purchase the hinge jig next to make wooden hinges for my boxes

I have not yet had a chance to use this tool

What a beautifully made jig. I am very happy with my purchase as I have been with Incra purchases in the past.

My order was processed and delivered very quickly. The service was excellent. In addition, I searched on numerous sites for this jig and the only place I could have bought it, was in the US. Wood Workers Workshop saved me some money, and hassle that I would have had to go through if I imported the jig; They also have a few other Incra tools that I will purchase in the future.
I could not wait to try the jig on my router table, but unfortunately, my guide slots for the guide were not of standard size. So I will have to wait until I have made a new router top.
The jig comes with an instructional CD, which everyone should watch, but also a mini illustrated manual as a reminder for when you are in your workshop.

I Box delivered promptly and well packaged. Not had chance to unpack and set up (typical of these review requests - come in too soon after delivery).

A good sturdy product. Easy to put together with adequate instructions. I would suggest that the locating fingers need to be slightly taller, as I feel this would give the workpiece greater stability during the cutting process.

I haven't had much time to properly figure out how to use it. I spent a few hours trying to understand the instructions for use on a router table and also kept watching the YouTube video but it was very difficult to follow the instructions because the presenter spoke so fast and it was a pain trying to rewind the vid to the right place to watch again. When I did a test cut on some scrap wood the box joints did not fit. Now I know that I can adjust the jig and get it to work, but I haven't had time to mess about with it . I wish the instructions were better.
