Once upon a time I made one called a Lynn's jig that worked on a similar principle. It worked with a 16 turn per inch threaded rod. PITA to use with a regular blade because a fraction of a turn off and the fingers didn't fit well and if you counted wrong, scrap the project. Now that we have box joint cutters it might work better.
I have a pair of jigs like Norm uses now. One that's set for 1/4 and another set for 3/8 to use with my Freud box jointer cutters. I never count wrong with this type jig. :wsmile:
