- which laser cut joints. I'm making a control box today. But linking in with this I thought I would cover the basics of joints that I use when laser cutting. This is not an exhaustive list, there are lots more out there and lots more to be created. But I hope that this video inspired people to have a play and try new things that could be possible.

thanks for sharing, I learned some new ways to make joints from your video.
Glad I could help
Saw a video on finger joints that pointed out that diode laser cut width differs in x and y directions, ie the laser beam is not square. Putting your design and workpiece at 45 degrees ensures the cut is consistent and a sigle kerf applies.
Thanks, great video, liked, subscribed, commented and saved for reference 😅😊
Awesome, thank you!
Really useful for a new designer. Thank you!
Very informative. Thank you for sharing.
I’m Glad it was helpful.
Excellent information! Thank you so much . I am a beginner and this is invaluable for anyone learning to make boxes with a laser.
Glad it was helpful!
Some really cool ideas there. The spring connections might be better suited for ABS or Acrylic since either would hold up longer than wood fibers.
Great content! You just solved my problem with plywood joints. Thank you. Subscribed!
Thank you for the video, my friend. Very informative and also entertaining!👏👏
Insightful. Thanks for sharing your knowledge
Very interesting. I have a family of attachments that I have designed as well. It's great to see these various methods of attachment. By the way, it looks like there is a lot of smoke residue on your cuts. I upgraded my air to a compressor with 40psi and have pretty much eliminated the smoke marks.
Nice thank you for the joints!
Great video explaind very clearly and no adhd speed :)
Nice examples to add to the arsenal, thanks :)
Glad you liked it! 👍🏻
very cool! Now I wish I had some svg files to see how you designed them!
Thankss for the video.
Glad you like them!
Now that you've shown us some magic, how about a video on all hinges?
It'd be nice if you could share a file or recommend a link to cut these joints all in one go for 3mm & 4mm. I'm so busy now that I can hardly think... it would immensely save time.
This video shares some important points that you've mastered. Cheers!
Thanks for showing us how this works, subbed.
Your first few tips are key to everything- everything else follows.
I’m glad you have found the video useful. More will be on its way.
amazing joints, would never have guessed these existed, thanks!
Thank you for the feedback. 👍🏻
Fantastic! Thanks
You are welcome! 🙏 thank you for checking out the video.
Great content.
Very helpful. Thanks!
great joints info .. cheers
Thank you for sharing your knowledge, tips and advice. I've learned a lot which I can apply to my projects made with my laser cutter/etcher. Like/subscribed.
Very informative video. Thanks for sharing this knowledge !
Nice video. I’ve tested out all of them, when I was starting my laser cutting business 8 years ago. I really thought I invented few of them, but later started to see similar joints all over the place. Either people came up with it on their own, or they got the idea from me, I don't know. But I have at least 4 other joints that are not in this video. However, some of them are improved versions of existing ones.
This was so fantastically useful! Thank you!!
I’m Glad it was helpful!
Good video! Much food for thought... A few minor issues-
A digital caliper is not a Vernier (that is the mechanical readout method)
There are 9 levels of fit (ISO standards)
'Glue squeeze-out' is not really a thing- in general, the greater the clamping force the stronger the joint. Even if it was, it would only apply to the sides of the tab, not the other two faces.
Love the included bolt method!
Thabks mate. Very informative!
Another great video 👍
Thank you for the support Lewis 🙏
Good stuff
Glad you enjoyed. 👍🏻
Very cool video. Id really like to see one with similar joints for acrylic
Great suggestion! That could be done in the future. Would maybe link in with which glue’s to use.
With acrylic, I would also see about making use of its plasticity. Melting it to make rivit like conections?
Great information. new subscriber. Do you have any downloads of these joints or resources where we can find them? i'd love to try some of them.
Any chance of showing how to make the joint beginning at 8:15 mark in the video or is there an svg online that one could take a look at?
Brilliant mate! Your tutorial is much appreciated.
Do you sell your joint designs?
I’m glad you like it. I’m in the process of sorting out a website for the new year to make files available.
Fantastic! Looking forward to purchasing them.
Thank you! Super helpful. I have a question, do finger joints work without glue for 2mm chipboard or would it fall apart?
I’ve never worked with chipboard on a laser. But I suspect 2mm would be too thin and would as you say fall apart.
Muchas gracias por descubrirme las posibilidades de ensamble de las piezas de madera.
Creo que sería interesante que explicaras qué tipos de materiales para corte y grabado láser, según el tipo de laser.
También sería interesante conocer más concretamente que características poseen las diferentes maderas (blandas, duras, contrachapados, etc), y como interactúa el haz de luz con el material.
Otro punto interesante de descubrir sería como ajustar el punto de enfoque un corte preciso, y un grabado espectacular. Que tipo de maderas utilizar en el grabado para mejorar el contraste.
Y que tratamientos e impermeabilización se usan en los acabados.
Muchas Felicidades por compartir tus conocimientos con nosotros.
Un cordial saludo...
Great vid again Martin 🤙
Thank you Deian. 🙏
Agree 👍
Thank you Dan. 🙏
How do you make hook joints
Great overview of some useful joints.
Thank you Matt. Thank you for the support. 👊🏻
Hi, Could you maybe send the file for the different joint examples, i would like to use them for the kids in my school workshop!
These sort of things will become available when I get my website up and running.
Good information. But audio is so low 😩
🙏 Sorry about that. I’ve had a few technical issues with this. It is a working progress.
I thought this video was about making laser cut cannabis joints. Sadly disappointed.
Wow these are brilliant
Thank you.
