Joining Profile - Help needed

[Moondog]

Hope someone can help.

I am using a finger joining profile to join plywood, see attached DXF. I am cutting the profile with a 10mm bit which cuts fine but I am finding the joint tolerances to be too tight. Can anyone offer suggestions on setting up the cutting file to ensure a nice neat fitting of the parts.

Your help appreciated.

cheers

Try offsetting 1 side about .07mm, making it smaller. It's probably going to take some trial and error, and if your machine has any backlash, it might be tough to get a really tight fit everywhere. If it still doesnt fit, keep making it smaller, but use ~.03 increments after the first offset.

Hi,

Try this software I use it when I need to make radius changes I think it can be downloaded for free, also a english version somewhere.

Hi,

I will try to find the english version, I use the german version and it works I can't a single word of german but with some practice you can manage it.
