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

If you can mount the board perpendicular to the x axis instead of flat on it you can cut proper finger joints. Most CNC machines don't allow for this because it cuts down on the total work area.

Hmmm... that makes sense. You’d need a pretty long/deep Z axis though.
Laythe:
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.)
