Finger joints on large panels and Jig.

Hello everyone welcome back!!
Here is one of my interesting finds!


Say we have two pieces of ply/wood where a finger joint is to be made.  What it seems to be from the picture above is, offset one piece, say piece 2, by width of the blade towards left and make few cuts.  Next offset the piece 2, by width of the blade towards right and make few cuts.  Now, if the waste is removed, as shown in the picture, exact fitting finger joints is what is left.  But then, a jig is needed to make flawless cuts.

Here is jig that will work with Dremel Saw Max.

Here is a video of making the finger joints.

This is my 5 attempt; first 2 three attempts I tried to mark offset by taking thickness of blade and next two missed making alternate cuts.  One 'missed alternate cuts' can be seen this video.
Thanks for watching!!
