A system for forming a joint, the system may include a controller; and a hold and movement unit that is configured to: (a) hold a first cuttable element while the first cuttable element is being cut by a cutting element during multiple first cut iterations; and (b) execute, under a control of the controller, first movement commands for moving the first cuttable element, along a first axis, between one cut iteration to another to form a first requested pattern of recesses. The first movement commands are generated based on a user request regarding the joint, and one or more cutting element parameters.

An apparatus is described that is suitable for mounting in a variety of orientations and for forming a variety of woodworking joints at a high throughput. The apparatus is directed to a tool that couples with a power tool to either plunge into or cross feed through a workpiece. The apparatus is particularly well suited for forming biscuit dado, dado, mortise, tenon, floating tenon, dowel, bridle, half lap, tongue, and groove joints, without requiring significant tool changes.
