Has anyone cut 45-degree miters on a cnc? I'm making a small box and am trying to figure out how to join the sides, front and back without revealing overlaps and the joint is hidden. Any ideas?
If you decide to not use CNC, I would recommend cutting the miters on a table saw using the technique discussed by Steve Latta in the Fine Woodworking article "Strong, No Clamp-Up Corner Joints", March/April 1998. He uses an assembly technique called miter folding which involves using good quality packing tape at the corners. I have successfully used miter folding as well as Latta's simple shop built jig to cut the miters.
