I would think the CNC couldn’t cut the finger joints square enough. |
| Ian:
Watching this with much anticipation. |

Most CNC machines don't allow for this because it cuts down on the total work area. |

I think that you can also do fingers if you're using a waterjet or laser. (I didn't know if he was CNCing the kits that way, or on a mill / router.) |
