Parallel Laser Friction Fit Gauges

thingiverse

To master friction fitting, create custom gauges from preferred materials. Adjust parallel cuts by recording data such as 0.1mm increments, hook holes, and slot widths. Use Friction Fit Gauge for perfect finger joins across diverse materials. First, fabricate both gauges and note settings. For slot widths, insert 0.0mm tab from the tab gauge into a slot on the slot gauge. The labeled notch indicates how much to subtract from the desired slot width. For example, if a material fits snugly in a -0.2mm slot, your project's slots should be 0.2mm narrower than the corresponding tabs. Similarly, for tab widths, fit the 0.0mm slot on the slot gauge over a tab from the tab gauge and add the fitting tab's value to the slot width. To achieve precision cuts, always use settings logged in your custom-made gauges.
