this time i want to show you a quick way ofmaking mortise and tenon joints. i am going to make the mortise in my 3d router usingthis 8mm solid carbide spiral bit with chipbreaker. the same one i told you about in a previousvideo. adjust the height of the router. block the x axis since we are not going to use it. place the workpiece and hold it to the fence using clamps and block it. adjust the desired stroke in the y axis. i like to use this kind of cnc drill bitsfor tenons because of these tiny grooves that make the glue more effective.
i made the tenon with the disk and my tenon jig. you'll need to do it in several passestoo. you better hold the piece to prevent it from moving without ever losing sight ofthe disk. turn the workpiece and repeat the process. now you can cut away the remainder using the sled. round the corners using a rasp. finally we can assembly, plane and sand theremaining part of the tenon. and this is the final result!
