Next up is actually resolving the joinery — this has a couple of different issues:
-
need to cut a 22.5 degree angle — a couple of possibilities:
- use a 135 degree V endmill
- model the angle in Carbide Create Pro
- create a gradient which when appropriately placed and sized will cut the angle as a depth map in Carbide Create Pro
- write a custom program to generate G-Code for cutting that out — for other options see: Thoughts on cutting specific angles into projects?
-
actually cutting the joinery — it should work to cut a series of slots using a square or ball-nosed endmill — these would then need floating tenons — need to work out the geometry for this, and see if using a cove radius endmill could result in a void free joint
