The present invention is a jig system for precisely positioning the placement of multiple cuts such as in the placement of dovetail or box joints cut in a wood panel. A row of multi-use adjustable spacers controls the indexing of a workpiece and can be used with a stationary and/or a portable cutting tool. The movability of the spacers permits a workpiece to be cut on both sides of a guide bar fence thereby assuring that the first cut will always be made on the same side of a drawer and will be esthetically pleasing regardless of the width of the workpiece. Additionally, the adjustability of the spacers accommodates any desired cutting tool height, angle and/or size. The jig system comprises: a stationary fixture; a spacer bar; a plurality of spacers engaged with the spacer bar, the spacers are adapted for lateral and rotational movement along the spacer bar thereby providing an engaged and non-engaged working mode; a sliding member adapted for lateral movement on the stationary fixture and for engaging at least one of the spacers in the engaged working mode; and means for holding the spacer bar and connecting the spacer bar to the stationary fixture while engaging with at least one of the spacers during the engaged working mode.
