The consul table I’m working on at the moment has crossed legs held together with a half lap joint. Typically I would use a dado blade on the table saw to make the half-lap joint, but these are tapered so I decided to cut them on the @shopbottools CNC router.
This short video shows the process, from cutting a jig to hold the legs on the CNC table to forming the half lap joints and how the legs join together.
This is the first time I’ve held a workpiece in a pocket without any clamps or vacuum. I was surprised at how effective and secure it was.
