A panel may be configured with panel mounts by forming a panel connector accepting slot in the panel and then locating connector mounts in the slot. In another embodiment, a panel may be configured with panel connector mounts by milling a panel to leave areas of panel material which form the mounts and milling the panel behind to connector mounts to define areas for accepting portions of the panel connector. Panels having the defined connector mounts may be connected by one or more panel connectors which engage the connector mounts.

A method of forming a joint between first and second workpieces generally consisting of forming a recess in one of such workpieces, provided with at least one side wall having a serrated cross-sectional configuration with inwardly projecting, distortable segments; providing a portion in the other of such workpieces, insertable into such recess, having a cross-sectional configuration sufficient to engage and distort such segments as such portion is inserted into such recess; and inserting such of the other workpiece into such recess, causing the segments to distort and thus provide an interference fit between such workpieces.

A mortise and tenon joint tooling guide includes a base seat, two templates, an adjusting plate and a clamping structure. The base seat has a platform and an opening through the platform. Each of the templates can be arranged on the platform at intervals in a movable form. Each of the templates is formed with a guiding edge on one side. The guiding edges face each other and are used to guide the machining tool going through the opening to process a workpiece to form a mortise or tenon. The adjusting plate is configured on the base seat, capable of moving back and forth, and is used to abut against the workpiece, and to correct the distance between the template and the surface. The clamping structure is configured on the base seat, and is used to clamp the workpiece, so as to relatively position the platform and the workpiece.

A position controlling device for a carpenter angle drill/hollow chisel mortiser has a mounting group, a positioning group, and a retaining arm. The mounting group has two crossbars and a bridge bar. The bridge bar is connected to the crossbars. The positioning group is connected to the mounting group, and has two limiting blocks, a holding frame, and a circuit breaker. The limiting blocks are connected to the bridge bar between the crossbars. The holding frame is securely connected to one of the limiting blocks. The circuit breaker is mounted in the holding frame and has a contacting slice and an electric wire. The contacting slice is elastically connected to the circuit breaker, and transversally extends out of the holding frame. The retaining arm selectively abuts the contacting slice of the circuit breaker to enable the circuit breaker at a turn-off condition.

A notch cutting system includes a cutter guide that connects to a workpiece and establishes a cutting path for notching the workpiece. A notch cutter with a cylindrical cutting element engages the cutter guide. A rotary driver rotates the cutting element to remove workpiece material as the notch cutter traverses the aperture and the notch cutting system cuts a full-radius notch in the workpiece along the cutting path.

A jig assembly includes jig body having a front side, a top side, a bottom side, a left side, and a right side, the top side and the bottom side being parallel to each other, the left side and the right side being parallel to each other, and the front side being perpendicular to the top side and bottom side. A lower carriage support is connected to a lower portion of the front side, and an upper carriage support is removably coupled to an upper portion of the front side. A pinion is connected to a top of the top side, the pinion configured to spin freely about an axle, and a pinion axle bracket is connected to a back of the front side above the pinion.
