Woodworker wants new Incra jig system for Christmas!

Incra Jig SystemDear Santa - can I have one of these please?

I’ve just had an email telling me about Incra’s new “Build-It” jig system starter kit and as a regular jig-bodger, if Santa doesn’t come through I’m going to have to shell out myself!

Image all the time this kit is going to save. Half the problem with building woodworking jigs is (a) the time it takes and (b) getting everything absolutely straight and square - because if you want repeatability shooting board jig(which is presumably why you’re building a jig in the first place) you better be spot on at the start. I know some people like building jigs for the sake of making them, but to be honest if someone offers me a faster, better engineered solution then I’d rather be making the thing itself than the jig.

Incra appear to have provided exactly that solution with this modular system. It Incra tenon jigstarts with their aluminum runner - the mitre slider - and then you add bits to it to make the jig of your choice; Build-It panels, T-slot panel connectors, mitre sliders, clamps, brackets, T-tracks… all accurate, all made to fit each other. Just the job.

Incra even include 5 jig plans in the kit - although you’ll soon be making many variations to suit your own woodworking needs.

The complete starter kit includes: 1 x large Build-It panel, 1 x small Build-It panel, 2 x 18” T-slot panel connectors, 1 x 18” mitre slider, 1 x Build-It clamp, 1 pair Build-It brackets, 8 x Build-It knobs, 1 x 18” T-track regular, 1 x 18” T-track plus and is available for just $119.99. Being modular,extra components can be added as and when you need them.

You can order yours online from Woodcraft.com or Rockler.com
