How To Design A Laser Cut Finger Joint Box Accurately

The box file doesn't seem to be there anymore. Dropbox says it's deleted :-(

The link for the Free Box File doesn't seem to work for me. It says that the item has been deleted.

Wow! You're a great teacher. Thank you so much!

Shouldn't you multiply the 0.15 delta, not divide? 0.15 was already a difference from one side of the beam...

Cool, but what is the name of the program?

Can i drowning useing 3d max instead of rainno

awesome content and nice vibe as well; thanks

Thankyou! Love the videos and your instructions. I've subscribed brother! BC Canada.

Any ideas on how i can cut curved plywood? That aren’t completely flat. They usually mess up the laser cutting

Actually I' m new to the laser world...so its really useful for me.. shall i know what is the software u r using for
drawing box layout?

I don't consider kerf at all... Other than if it's different on the X and Y of course.
But that tiiiiny gap between fingers, makes them slide nicely together, while not actually having any noticeable gaps.
With that said, I always use glue. I haven't made anything yet that is meant to come back apart.

Hello; great video ... and clear to understand

But I am wondering ...
1 - how do you then design stuffs for others so they can laser cut it ? without the kerf consideration ?
2 - how to tackle the kerf with a design of someone else without redoing the design ?

I did it too. This is what I used woodglut designs for

If you didn’t worry about the kerf when you cut all of those sides you simply flip one over and it should have the opposite kurf angle on it as well and should fit perfectly together?

That was really cool, thanks for taking the time to make it! :)

Thanks a Lot for this vídeo mate. Very helpful! Cheers

What kind of wood are you using

Where can I buy laser plywood?

Quite illustrative and educative

What wood are you using?

Thank you ,very good idea 💡

great video! If I wanted to cover this with leather (to make a tiered jewellery box) do you think a finger joint is appropriate for the base? or is simply glueing the sides with no special joints sturdy enough (as it won't go undone due to the cover material)?

Thanks

how about when both sides of the sample square that you cut have different numbers?? (Example: X side is 19.64 and Y 19.40) ?

Thank you for a very imformative video, and especially for the example file. I had one question about the file. I see nominally all fingers and slots were designed at 10x3 mm. The fingers when accounting for kerf grew on the 3 sides by 0.08, making the fingers 10.16 x 3.08. What was confusing to me was the slots that the base would snap in to. With kerf adjustment they changed to 9.84 x 3.0 mm. I would have expected the kerf adjustment to be both in width and height, giving 9.84 x 2.84 mm. Why did the height of the slots stay at 3.0 mm? Thank you.

Hello my friend.Can you inform me how much cost a laser cut like yours?And whats the type of the machine.Thank you very much.

Can i do this trick on acrylic?

hi do you know how to make the cut still attacth to the base like puzzle?so the user have to push it a bit to cut the pieces
thanks

How many wats your laser has?

damn, don't you love those burnt edges

what maschine cut laser do you use?

what i have done for our lab is a grasshopper script. you choose you kerf from a menu (of measured tests) and then you can fine tune it with a slider if needed. it takes the value and offsets out all the outer curves and offsets in all inner curves. one click solution that can correct any drawing (which is drawn without kerf correction) with a single click. this simplifies drawing management and gives one click correction when matetials or cut parametres change :)

Great job

What kind of absolute wanker would give this video a thumbs down??????

Thank you tomorrow going to try to make my first box. Thanks for the help and PDF file. Are not all the lines on the file suppose to be red are they not all cuts?

amazing contents
I hope you keep update :)

This was great, thank you

thanks that realy helped please dont stop

great job great explain :D

What's this program you use?

What type of wood did you used in this video? Is it Plywood?
And what is the thickness in mm ?
Thank you

So, If I want to do maybe 4 in each side of the box, should I divided into 4 ?

Great video! What kind of calipers do you use or recommend?

Frankly, that's the only video I was able to find about kerfing explanation... Thanks! What I miss... is howto video about Rhinoceros e2e process of designing a laser cut model... I have some experience in SketchUp, but it seems the process is slightly different. And exporting faces there requires an extra plugin and some amount of manual work.

Great video, can you maybe make a guide for a free vector software (like Inkscape?)

Can’t wait to see the last you show 🤩🤩

Great instructional. I wish I had a machine like this!
