BOX JOINTS

Chapter 15

D4R Pro User Guide

15-13 Lets make a box with

" box joints..

Prepare four boards and number them

. Then select the grain

alignment and mark the common top (or bottom) edge

. Don’t

worry about face side selection; this can be done after routing.

15-14

All box joint boards are clamped alternating face side in

and face side out

always with the same side edge against the

side stop

(or Spacer).

15-15

Rout both ends of boards

and

with their

edges against

the side stop

. Be sure to keep the same edge to the stop.

15-16

Rout both ends of boards

and

with their

edges against

the Spacer

and the Spacer in the No.

position.

Keep the same edges to the Spacer.

15-17

Keeping the marked side stop edges of all boards toward the

top (or all to the bottom) of the box, select the preferred outside
faces before routing the grooves

➄

for the bottom.

15-18

The same method will produce end-on-end joints.
