Why know how to make box joints correctly? 

In the manufacturing industry many shop hands spend their whole careers perfecting only 
a few operations with machines. Many perform operations using the same, time honored 
tools, many of them producing precision, quality parts. In other words, in manufacturing, 
most machine operators do not require many of the vast planning, "pre-production" skills.  
This is done by the ones who create the original plans, the jigs, the fixtures and the designs. 

Those who innovate these tools understand, often after decades of effort, the true 
productive value of gauging, locating, and innovative ability.  Those who build jigs  or fixtures 
in the shop, from the casual woodworker to the automation technician or engineer begins to see 
the real value of machines, not the basic, occasional, "pastime" value.  Hence...they have 
really learned a simple but necessary ingredient involved in making more things with tools. 
They learn how to saw through things, and focus on the heart of the matter...precision duplication. 
This website has close to 100 pages focused on this subject.  In other words, it focuses on jigs, 
and the eventual transition many recognize once their power tools seem to have less value than 
they originally had. 

Someone who learns how to use just simple, but accurate gauging  techniques can discover the 
true productive potential of a table saw. Then, not only  do tool users make nice box joints, but 
they can go on to apply the principles to  make many machines become more productive 
and yielding.  Box joints are like a "goals gateway."

The Minnie Cut can be described as 
a device, that, like an industrial jig, 
or fixture will establish the importance 
of standardizing.  

Other terms to describe 
this box joint jig and technique is...

Less guessing with jigs
Reduced measuring
Smart line-up...almost instant. 
How to have less waste.
Easily modified, or...
permanence.
Line-up assurance.
How do you prevent frustration.

See how, and why it is important that a more  
industrial type, solid gauged  jig provides the 
least possible allowance for variation. 

"Woodworking knowledge is the fuel, the "How to" core of technology."

Right now, an innovator, a creator who looks at an idle machine doesn't see an iron edifice with 
switches, gears and motors, but something with vast capability.  Knowing how to use a unique gauging 
system is to change many tool users from an observer of machines to someone who finally sees it.  

The Box Joint E-book explains the best sequence of steps to effectively 
produce box joints.   Someone who learns how to use just simple, but accurate gages can 
discover the true productive potential of a table saw. Then, not only do owners make nice 
box joints, but they can go on to apply the same principles to make many machines 
become more productive and yielding.
