>This jig is not for turned boxes, but for old fashioned, rectangular (The horror!) boxes with mitered corners. It cuts a slot through the corner, so that a spline or slipfeather can be glued in place. Since both glued surfaces of the mitered corner are mostly end grain, just gluing the surfaces together doesn't hold them very well. The grain of the slipfeather is at 45° to the grain of both sides, and there is a large face grain surface area for effective glue bonding.

Thank you, Bill.

BTW, I fixed your link in your original post, too. Note that the "Optional Link URL" box already contains the text "http://". If you copy a link from your web browser, you end up with two of these in a row, which sends you off to somewhere other than where you want to go. So you have to delete one of the "http://" strings before posting the message. I'll have to ask Dan Donaldson how he would fix your second post. For now, it is enough to note that posting a link to a page of HTML, and not directly to an image file (for example, one ending in .jpg or .gif) in the "Optional image URL" box doesn't work to display the image, whether or not you delete the superfluous http://.

Hope this helps a little bit.
