The Smart Finger-Box Joint Jig
As promised in this post I will explain what I used to make my own automatic Finger-Box Joint for my BOSCH PTS 10 table saw but it can be also used on all other table saws with the due modifications. Please note that this page is still under construction as I will update this article…
Finger Jointer: I finally did it!
Yes, guys I finally did it. It works!!! But let’s go through the last adjustment I did to make it work. First I had to reset the correction factor of the displacements. In order to have consistent displacements I set up a simple gauge in order to measure the displacement resulting of a given set…
Automatic Finger Jointer Debug
Today I had again to go through code bugs: Sometimes the motor screams without moving; For some long displacement I don’t get the displacement set; Let’s see how I found the errors. Sometimes the motor screams but doesn’t move and I found out after several checks that this was due to its stalling because I…
Arduino Smart Finger Jointer
Today is a bug hunting day. First of all I realized that for some reason the displacement wasn’t right: for a given 5 millimeters displacement from the code I had 3.8 mills on the gantry. I am not sure of the reason but I believe it could be related to the pitch of the threaded…
Smart Finger Joint
Some time ago I would have said to be lucky to have time to spend in my garage. Sadly this is not the case as this corona virus has locked down us all and caused a lot of deaths already. Many people will loose their jobs, but hopefully everything will be fixed some day. My…

BOSCH PTS10 table saw
I now have been using it for almost 2 years, and it’s time to share with you guys what are my impressions. Pros it’s one of the cheapest the blade is good it’s easy to transport it has a built in crosscut sled Cons the rip guide is not perfect it is difficult to ripcut…
ZERO PLAY GUIDE ASSEMBLY TUTORIAL
Hi guys after several sad days I am finally back with the tutorial for the assembly of my 3d printed zero play guides for the BOSCH PTS10. Hope you’ll enjoy it. You can download the 3D files on my Thingiverse here. If you’re not able to print it yourself I just put it in my…
Arduino Smart Finger Jointer #4
Today I’ve tried to mount my 3D printed involute teeth gears to see how do they work. Unfortunately the hole of the pinion was too tight for the step motor shaft and I had to drill it on the drill press but didn’t got a centered hole therefore is a bit wobbly and noisy. But…
