But maybe you’ve read every single one of them and are still searching for the ultimate CNC joint? Billiam simulated 19 of them in CAD, evaluated each for rigidity, surface area, machining time, and effort, and crunched the numbers....

CNC machines offer precision and complexity, though usually at the cost of bulky equipment and, well, money. Hand tools offer affordability and flexibility at the cost of tedious mastery. What if we could have the best of both worlds? We started building Compass CNC with that goal in mind — an open source CNC router that fits in your hands, giving you...
