T Slot Joint

Introduction: How to Make T-slot Joint. I Made It at TechShop

• Tab And Slot Joint
• T Slot Joint

Goal:
To practice on making T-slot Joint.
To recreate Humane Mouse Trap Project using T-slot Joint.
To use minimum number of sets of bolt and nut.
Procedure and Design Feature:
I used Corel Draw to sketch and dimension all the six sides.
I put the fingers at the end so it would have less corners. The least number of corners, the lesser the chance for breakage.
For the front and rear plate, I put one finger on top and 2 fingers on the bottom.
The least number of sets of nut and bolt is 4 sets as shown.
I used scrap plywood from the scrap bin to build my prototype. The dimension I used are meant for 1/4' Acrylic.
The nut and bolt specs are as follows.
I bought and 100 sets of these and get them for half the normal price at Ace Hardware.
I added legs so that the screw head of bottom side won't scratch the table surface.
I did not complete the trap door yet since this instructable priority and current focus in making box using T-slot joint.
I will add the Corel Draw files, once I corrected a couple of hole position which are slightly (~1mm) off. Thank you for your visit.

Pivot Joints are ideal for joining pieces of extrusion without the need for sharp and potentialy dangerous mitered cuts. We have variable angle connectors such as our Pivot Joints, or static angle connectors such as our Angled Gussets, where there is more of a need for rigidity. All of our angle connectors can be joined end-to-end or end-to-side depending on the application.
