I was looking for cnc joints that I could use, and came up with this: It's called a bulb joint, there are no gaps, as I was hammering it home, I added some glue, so it should last forever.  This machine is accurate. |

Very nice! Could you describe your process for laying these out? What kind of allowances do you allow yourself between the two pieces?

Here's an eps file with 2 joints. I didn't use any allowance. The left hand piece is cut on the right hand side of the vector, and the right hand piece is cut on the left hand side. I used a 1/4 inch spiral upcut bit. I'm using artcam. It has a resolution option that controls how much detail is calculated, the default setting was giving me gaps, but setting it to the max results in a no gap joint. bulb joints.eps (927.82 KB) I got the original file from the vectric board. |

I know this is digging up an old thread, but this is awesome. Love that joint work, never seen something like that before. Really well done.

Thanks for the file...I can think of a whole bunch of ways to use that technique (once I finger out how to do it ;-) |
