joint. Their resistance to bending forces and subsequent cleavage is
much better, and the bonded area is larger. Unfortunately, most of
these joint designs require a machining operation.
3.5.4 Angle and corner joints
A butt joint is the simplest method of bonding two surfaces that meet
at an odd angle. Although the butt joint has good resistance to pure
tension and compression, its bending strength is very poor. Dado, L,
