Re: Placement of a Support Brace

 

Imran,
I think what you are talking about is this , The Power of The Triangle. It is one of the strongest forms if not the strongest form.
To compress a triangle out of that form only two things can happen,
1. the material fractures or explodes.
2. The joint fails.
My guess would be that the joint will fail first.
I don't think the actual angle has much to do with it

David,

I figured I will end up drawing this. Attached shows the simple scenario. Assume there is a weight hanging at the end of the cantilever. The cantilever, itself, does not need any support. The cantilever is joined with a M&T to the post. If the only concern is M&T joint, can that be alleviated with a brace?

If the answer is yes, I show point A (midway) and point B near the end. Lets say, it is possible to add a 45 deg brace from these points to the main post. Is one better than the other or another location is best.

Hi Michael,

No it is not a mail box application but concept is same. In my scenario, the beam itself is stout and does not need any support however I have an interest in strengthening the M&T joint to handle the weight (downward force) at the open end of the beam. How would you use a brace for this purpose?

?

As I understand, and it has been mentioned here, that brace works better in compression than tension. I do not know for sure what the reason is, but I suspect it is due to the limitation of the wood joinery.

Now the reason I am writing this, would it be better if the brace moved in, just a bit more towards the vertical post? It should increase the upward force even more. So instead of 50% what if the brace is placed at 45%. As long as the tenon is strong it should be better. Correct?

Thanks for the feedback. I guess $500/month sounded too good to be true but over the long haul $6K/yr starts adding up. Although if you do not have a building sitting around it still is pretty cheap. I guess it works out for both parties. Good to know.

What you are referring to is Ultra Block which is a compost that is finger jointed to the bottom of the stiles before the stiles are machined and door assembled. In stain grade applications this is done to the LVL core or whatever they are going to use as a core before the veneers are applied. It's now pretty much standard on most exterior doors and is an option on the doors that are not standard with it. There is also another option for non overhang locations where they laminated an overlay of MDO on the exterior surface. I have never done it because they only do it on the flats and in my thoughts they should be using MDX this is called Waterbarrier Tech.
Jamb Saver is the same as Ultra Block? but for the exterior jamb pairs to make the frame. It is done the same way .
I of course don't know what glue they are using for that finger joint but I am sure I can find out.
I rerail fiberglass doors all the time for exterior access doors and when I make the insert I use Trex decking and glue with Gorilla glue. I Haven't had an issue yet.

Re: Placement of a Support Brace

Just slap a 2x4 and call it done ?

I hope to hear from mechanically inclined members on this. My intuition has betrayed me before so I could be wrong. However, once I started thinking of the ideal place to attach the brace on a cantilever it seems to me that mid point or a bit less may be the answer. This is for a case, where cantilever does not need any support and the purpose of the brace is to help the mortice & tenon joint.

Just a word of caution. When discharging a capacitor use a resistor in series to limit the current.

Tom,

I used a RPC for a long time. The only sound, during braking, that I am familiar with is coming from the machine not the idler. I still get same sound with Phase Perfect.

I don't know.? When I lived in San Diego, I was a member at a maker's space that had most of that equipment, as well as CNC and laser stuff for about 500/year.? Some of the stuff was first rate, some not very well maintained, and there was often a wait for equipment use.? Where I live now, I pay? 500/yr for a similarly equipped? hobbyist space, also with CNC and laser.? No slider but I think everything else on the list is covered.? The real issue is, if you're a production sort of shop, you will have to share machines with other people.? ?I'm slowly but surely building my own shop space--even as "just a hobbyist", having people standing over one's shoulder glaring as you surface rough lumber,? or having to go to a main desk to "sign out" a dado set and brake for a SawStop is annoying at best.? ?Still, it's nice to not have to buy EVERYTHING all at once in order to function.

I saw this and it is hard to believe that one can rent this for $500/month. Is this the going rate or there likely is a catch.
