Your New Leigh Box Joint & Beehive Jig, Model B975
The Leigh Box Joint & Beehive Jig, Model B975, is a simple, easy-to-use tool for making
1/2" and 3/4" box joints on boards up to 13/16"[20.6mm] thick, and from 1-1/2"[38mm]
to 17-13/16"[453mm] wide. Not by accident, the full 9-11/16"[246mm] width of the jig
is the standard height of a typical beehive super, used in North America.
