| Randal |  Creative fingerjointing?!?February 27th, 2006 01:08 AM Place your hands in the prayer posistion, now bend them palms out away from you; a finger joint looks like that. It is made up of cuts (normally the width of your blades kerf (kerf-width of blades carbide or steel cutting tip) that allow you to joint two pieces of wood. Normally it is used for box corners, as a different style dovetail. A dado blade is used for dado's (grooves in wood for things like shelves of a slot to joint two pieces), and Rabbets (Grooves along the outside of wood for wood joining). Yes, theoretically you could use that blade for finger jointing, but wobble dado's don't make flat bottom grooves. So you would probably have to cut the tongues, to fit the grooves with a jig saw. |
