Often my student's cabinet projects needed half lapped panels to compartmentalize interior volumes. Even in drawers that needed dividers a half lap joint was the obvious way to intersect the parts. For some educational research credit I set about seeing if many classic woodworking joints could be made "better" using the CNC. This joint is one outcome of my explorations. My ramped halving joint slides together easily but closes up tight and snug. The tapered side of the slot on each side mates to the ramped face on the opposite side of the mating piece. The joint is kept aligned down the entire intersection. Both sides are done with the same toolpaths with the boards laying flat on the CNC bed. My blog post about it includes a link to Vectric's Forum where I posted a sample file you can download to inspect if you use VCarve or Aspire. https://4dfurniture.blogspot.com/2022/10/tapered-halving-joint.html 4D
