CNC cutting finger-joints

Wouldn't the glue fill the little gaps? I guess Fender and everybody else didn't worry about it since they made openback cabs and covered everything with tolex Smile

If you're gonna go with varnish then maybe that will fill the gaps? You could paint the inside corners sort of sloppy as a poor man bandaid or add caulking but that might just dry out and fall off.

Maybe most of the gap is taken care of when you bang it together.

Peace

Maybe the glue would fill the gaps? Not certain. I think Fender didn't bother with finger joints at all but I could be mistaken. I think for the smaller tool sizes I've seen people say you can just undersize 'em a little and then bang 'em together for a snug gap-free fit. I think I'll have to use a slightly larger tool for the 3/4" baltic birch I want to use, and I'm not sure how things will pan out there.

Thanks for the ideas!
