| I made four
more finger
joint CD/DVD boxes. This time I took it a step further and let the CNC
machine cut out the box pieces and also cut a groove for the box bottom.
They came out much cleaner than the first set of boxes. On the first set of
boxes, I used a table saw to cut the 3" width of all the pieces and I used a
router table to cut the .125" groove. I still used the router table to do a
.125" roundover on all the box edges after the boxes were assembled. See my first finger joint box page to see how the Finger joint CNC jig works. |
