@Artie that is some deep thinking

Sometime I wonder why do we have all these names for joints. Is it just to confuse us woodturners?

Makes it easier to sell me jigs LOL.

I always thought a "Joint was something else,the ones that came in a box were box joints and the ones you rolled were finger joints.

 

Just saying,

I’m surprised no one has already noted the following, “ A square and a rectangle, both have 4-90 degree corners. A square is also a rectangle, but a rectangle is not necessarily a square”  Can’t a box joint be a finger joint, but a finger joint not necessarily a box joint? Or vice versa? Just trying to keep the conversation going  

Learned this in math and philosophy classes.   "All deer are mammals, but not all mammals are deer."

 

I go with Fred, usually.   Also I call the first one a  "beehive joint."  Just to muddy the waters
