18 Questions
What are the disadvantages of lap joints?
Decreased tensile strength, potential for micro-cracks and cavity flaws, moisture retention leading to corrosion and fatigue cracking
How is a butt joint formed?
Two pieces are joined end-to-end at a 90- or 180-degree angle without specific cuts.
What is a simple butt joint?
An adhesive, like wood glue, is used to join parts together.
What is a butterfly butt joint?
Additional pieces are cut into a bow-tie shape for aesthetic or structural reasons.
What is a pocket hole butt joint?
