Automatic finger joint CNC cut path tool

[piratebrian]

I just finished a first draft of a Dynamic Component CNC cut layout tool for woodworking finger joints.

It can be found on the 3d warehouse under the name: "Finger Joint dynamic component with cnc cut paths V2 DRAFT"

User inputs are:
board width
number of fingers/teeth
tolerance of fit
(.002" for hammer tight, .009" fit with glue, or use about .004 for tight fit)
The spacing is auto calculated using this data.

As this is a first draft, I don't have the board thickness and finger length co-joined -please just explode and stretch as needed until I can get back to rebuilding the formulas. But the annoying spacing work along one axis is done at least Also bit diameter is set at 1/8" I use an Onsrund 2 flute, straight for this kind of work with max pass depth at .070" at 180ipm in finish plywood.
To use, click into one of the two components until all the joint get blue-boxed, right click and select dynamic component -options. input board width, number of fingers, and tolerance of fit.
