I think it would be more accurate to use the two sides over the one track. I do not like the track anyway, it is funny. I think I have a good idea how I could make a jig. Thanks! | |

The tops of router tables are usually exactly rectangular yes? You don't need two tracks if you want greater accuracy, you just need two reference surfaces and isn't the track parallel to two of the fours sides? So you can use an edge as you'd use a second track. But never mind that, I see online that there are many single-track box-joint jig — just make a long slide for the track (tight fit) and fix it rigidly to your sled and you'll have enough accuracy. | |

| Jan 11, 2017 at 2:00 | comment | added | Graphus | Re. your router table having only one track, I presume it does have two sides that are exactly parallel to it which can be used as registration surfaces also. | |
