How to Use

  1. Set the dimensions (width, depth, and height) of your desired box.

  2. Set the materialThickness based on the material you're cutting. This will determine the height of the finger joints.

  3. Set the kerf to compensate for the kerf of your cutter. A value of 0.007" is usually good for tight-fitting laser-cut finger joints, but you'll need to adjust this depending on your material, material thickness, and cutter.

  4. Optional: adjust the tabWidth if you want your finger joint tabs to be bigger or smaller.

Assembly

The finger joints will slot into each other with a tight fit. You may need to use a rubber mallet to tap them in.
