Can X Carve do finger box joints? I make jewelry boxes out of eastern red cedar, it is a much more professional looking product if finger joints are used to assemble. yes it can be done on a jig saw or band saw, but there is the dreaded learning curve ---

I am sure that it can do this provided you have the correct measurements. It does seem to me that you could set up a jig on a table saw or prefabricated template or even a router bit. > **[Router Aluminum Through Box Joint / finger joint 1/2 - 1/4 Jig Template 6061...](https://www.ebay.com/itm/122002097643?chn=ps&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-117182-37290-0&mkcid=2&itemid=122002097643&targetid=483914774630&device=c&mktype=pla&googleloc=9031194&poi=&campaignid=8080424524&mkgroupid=82964818745&rlsatarget=pla-483914774630&abcId=1139446&merchantid=101698014&gclid=EAIaIQobChMItb3dwpXN5gIVRR6tBh3h1gEWEAkYAyABEgK1S_D_BwE)** > > Find many great new & used options and get the best deals for Router Aluminum Through Box Joint / finger joint 1/2 - 1/4 Jig Template 6061 USA at the best online prices at eBay!

I have seen a few guys on here that have done it on the xcarve. They cut a hole in the waste board so the material can hang underneath. Maybe try searching boxs joints you might find something. ---

There is the box generator app which does finger joints. Its only problem is that the round bit can’t produce square inside cuts and so there is a bit of finishing required. However, the end mill can produce square cuts if you hang the stock over the side vertically. To see this in action watch this video.
