Project:	Integrity Joint (I)
Description:	Through tenons for a joint that spell out words
Skillset(s) :	CNC Machining • Graphic Design
Project Type(s) :	Personal Project

I thought it would be interesting to have through tenons for a joint that spell out words. To CNC these parts, I needed to optimize the shapes that a router bit would be able to cut for the tenons and the mortises, so I created a Font for inside and outside CNCing. I routed some example pieces on the ShopBot, but since the tenon needs to be machined on the end face of a board, and the ShopBot has a limited z-axis height, the parts that could be made with this would be very limited. In the end I left it as a concept piece.

-a word is both the through-tenon and the mortise for a joint.
-==Progress==
-* word graphic designed such that the inner and outer radius should be big enough for router bit
-* [[Font for inside and outside CNCing]] in inkscape
-* export as .eps (for consistency)
-* imported to [[PartWorks 3.0]]
-* cut on [[3-axis ShopBot]]
-=== Problems ===
-fit is too tight
-* last T stem width is tenon: 2.9mm; mortise: 2.75mm; diff: 0.15mm  (inkscape says 2.813)
-* root of y with is tenon: 3.7mm; mortise: 3.4mm; diff: 0.3mm (inkscape says 3.413)
-* height of first i is tenon: 14.8mm; mortise: 14.9mm; diff: 0.1mm
-* height of t is tenon: 14.75mm; mortise: 14.6mm; diff: 0.15mm
-* '''avg diff: 0.175mm''
-* is the bit 1.4125 instead of the 1.5875mm it should be?
-* test cut single line with  1/16 bit and measure what it really is{{TD Possum Lodge}}
-* re-test cut the lettering with bit size set to 1.4125mm
