Laser Friction Fitting Gauge

thingiverse

This handy tool measures the optimal width for perpendicular slots on your projects, ranging from hairline to 7mm in .25mm increments. Suitable for most hobby laser-cut materials, it helps ensure a perfect fit. The center space logs settings and peak output for future reference. To use, cut material of choice and record details; insert the piece into a slot on the gauge until it fits snugly. On your project, replicate this width to create interlocking slots that match perfectly. Alternatively, make separate gauges from both materials and find matching slots for an even better fit.
