I have had bad luck cutting clean box joints in plywood.
Hi Wade.? I have a Delta table saw and a nice Freud dado set that I use to make boxes with box joints.? I assume tearout is the issue with your box joints.? If you're cutting these on a table saw the issue might be that your saw blade (or router bit if using a router and table) may need sharpening.? It will also help if you have a fresh backing board behind the joints as the saw blade/router bit exits the joint.? I found a free Unimat on CL last year which came without a box but I plan to make one and like you try to recreate the original box as much as possible.? Although, I sure like the box that Phil built.
Good luck!
