A simple jig that's easy to make so it lines up miter joints properly with dowels.

@workbenchz Жыл бұрын

Clever! If the holes are not perfectly square to the cut line when you split the block, they will be misaligned by the amount: kerfwidth * tan(θ) ; and if they aren't parallel they won't be spaced evenly because the different angles will cause different offsets across the kerfwidth. I suggest splitting the block first, then drill the holes so they stay aligned left-right, perhaps tape and superglue to a substrate to drill the holes after splitting. Or just start with 2 blocks.

@roflchopter11 Жыл бұрын

If you cut the jig piece with the holes before drilling it, you won't have the saw's kerf contributing to misalignment. If you drill the jig pieces oversized, you can press in a metal bushing for use as a drill guide to prolong the life.

@taylorlandry641 Жыл бұрын

Came here to say exactly this. Probably won't matter a ton (unless your drilling is super wonky), but definitely eliminates some slop.

@liambohl Жыл бұрын

If the two holes are too far out of parallel, the frame will be hard to assemble anyway. Just make the holes parallel enough, and you won't have to worry about the effect of the kerf

@roflchopter11 Жыл бұрын

@@liambohl that's true, but if the holes are parallel, but not perpendicular to the cut, the final pieces will assemble, but not line up with the corner of the miter due to the kerf.

@isakwatz11 Жыл бұрын

Strange that Matthias didn't consider this! He usually does like when making wooden bearing blocks. Make the cut, clamp back together and then drill.

Yeah, was gonna say the same. But if not too far out of parallel it wouldn't matter for woodworking. Metalworking is a whole different world though.

I think that if the holes were significantly out of parrallel when drilling the jig and the dowels were long, you could have trouble inserting the two pieces. But with reasonable clearances on the dowels and holes, and reasonably parrallel holes, the jig will perform well.

All-thread joining nuts makes for great cheap glue-in-place liners for drill-guides and the already drilled and threaded hole works fairly well as a self-centering guide when drilling out the threads(8mm drill for M8 nut etc) even if you just do it with the nut in a vice and use a battery-drill((using a smaller drill first is better from 6mm and up to get it as straight as possible if you don't have a drill-press/stand).

@matthiaswandel Жыл бұрын

Good suggestion. Though that may introduce some inaccuracy, unless I were to have super long nuts and cut those in half with the wood!

@mastermaker666 Жыл бұрын

@@matthiaswandel While stuff like this is something that I would normally 3D print, in wood a hole that is marginally smaller than the largest diameter on the nut it will line itself up rather well in the hole and some polyurethane glue or construction sealant/adhesive(sikaflex/MS-polymer etc) will fill in the gaps and lock it solidly in place(thinking more about dowel/drill jigs in general rather than this one in particular). A joining nut's length is usually slightly shy of 5 times the bolt diameter(2x the diameter on either end + some extra room for leeway) so while a drill press is obviously preferable for drilling it out it is long enough to be fairly well self guiding if you don't have one(a M8 nut is usually 35mm long) so you would have to be rather brutal to see the last half of the length not be lined up/straight/centered well enough when drilling it out with a battery-drill. Ever consider doing some tool/machine builds using laminate flooring as the build material? It's a rather amazing material that is cheap/strong/dimensionally accurate and available everywhere and in many cases its superior to MDF and plywood..

Although you say that the guide holes do not have to be accurate, they do have to be parallel in at least one plane, otherwise the joint will not go together.
