End-grain mortise

Deze inhoud is nog niet vertaald.

An end-grain mortise is a rectangular hole straight into one of the two ends of a part, along the grain.

Length 40 mm

Length 60 mm

Length 90 mm

End-grain mortise. Drawn by the editor's own geometry code, in the end view as seen from outside; right: the carved part in 3D, seen from that end.

When to use it

Use it where a tenon enters a part along its grain, or for a connector that sits in the end of a part. For the seat of a let-in base plate use the End-grain recess instead: CAMBIUM mills a mortise with its own mortise strategy and allowances, which a plate seat does not want.

Where it sits

The two ends are Face at start and Face at end. Height (from the bottom) and Width (from the back) place the middle of the mouth in the section. Length along says whether its length runs up the height or across the width, and Depth (along the grain) runs into the part from its end. See End faces.

Only a square end with no joint running out of it takes work; an end that does not is greyed out in the Face list, with the reason.

Fields

Veld	Eenheid	Bereik of opties	Standaard	Wat het verandert
Face		Face at start, Face at end	Face at start	The end the mortise goes into.
Height (from the bottom)	mm	from 0	60	Middle of the mouth, up from the bottom of the part.
Width (from the back)	mm	from 0	60	Middle of the mouth, in from the back of the part.
Length	mm	from 1	60	Size of the mouth along the direction Length along names.
Width	mm	from 1	40	Size of the mouth across it.
Depth (along the grain)	mm	from 1	50	How deep the mortise goes, measured from the end of the part.
Length along		Height, Width	Height	Whether the length runs up the height or across the width of the section.
End shape		Automatic, Square, Round, Rounded, Radius	Automatic	Shape of the mortise ends.
Radius	mm	from 1	Automatic	Corner radius, for end shapes that use one. Shown only for some settings of the other fields.
Length allowance	mm	from 0	No allowance	Hundegger machining allowance. Empty means none. BVN and BTLx have no field for it and leave it out with a notice.
Width allowance	mm	from 0	No allowance	Hundegger machining allowance. Empty means none. BVN and BTLx have no field for it and leave it out with a notice.
Depth allowance	mm	from 0	No allowance	Hundegger machining allowance. Empty means none. BVN and BTLx have no field for it and leave it out with a notice.

Default: what Add fills in on a 3000 mm part of 120 x 120 mm.

Add one

Select the part in the Parts list.
In the drawing, pick Face at start or Face at end under Side.
Under Extra processings, click Add and pick End-grain mortise. It goes into the middle of that end.
Set Length along, then Length, Width and Depth (along the grain) to the size of the tenon.
Drag it into place, or set Height (from the bottom) and Width (from the back).
Check that the part shows a green check. If not, open the Issues tab.

A mortise on a long face moves into an end when you pick an end in its Face list, and back. Turned in its end, an end-grain mortise goes a quarter at a time, and Length along swaps.

Machine export

Format	Status	Details
BTLx	Partly supported	Mortise on reference side 5 or 6. A mortise off the middle, or one whose length runs up the height, is placed as the BTLx manual defines those sides, and the export notes this without blocking. Allowances give a warning.
BVN (Hundegger)	Partly supported	Experimental, included with a warning unless you leave it out. Operation 0504 is being tested in the shop.
BVX2 (Hundegger)	Partly supported	Experimental, included with a warning unless you leave it out. How CAMBIUM places a mortise in an end is being tested in the shop.
BTL 10.6	Partly supported	051 front mortise with asymmetric margins, shape and radius. Allowances are omitted.

BTL status describes what the specification can represent. CAMBIUM imported our earlier BTL test files; confirmation applies to the tested forms and build. See BTL coverage for representation and receiver caveats.
