How Do You Make Finger Joints On A Table Saw?
Finger joints, named so because of their resemblance to interlaced fingers, are a sturdy joint that you would find in a lot of wooden boxes. These joints are usually secured in place with wood glue and are great at preventing any twisting of a joint. If you are working on a project that would best be completed with the use of finger joints, then follow the steps below to learn how you can create these joints using a table saw. Set your stacked dado set to the width that you would like your finger joints to be. Attach your scrap of plywood to your miter gauge so that it extends past your blade and the left side of your miter gauge. Run the scrap of plywood through the saw once you have squared it to the blade. Detach the scrap of plywood from the miter gauge. Cut a peg that is twice as long as the width of the pieces that you are working with to fit through the notch that you just cut in your scrap piece of plywood. Screw the peg in place with a wood screw. Reattach the scrap of plywood
