Straight forward download and cut. I have included different versions of the files exported from fusion 360 as I am not very good and the first attempt I had to change all to inside cut individually. When Cutting the holes for the pins cut them to a depth of 12mm and check which ever dowel fits the first hole. I used a -0.5mm offset to get my steel to fit neat. Everyone will be different I used the same offset with the Cam Clamps there is a large and a small clamp as depending where the material sits different size works better. So Cut 2 of each or more if required Also to take up gaps and protect the material you can use a small packer. The 4 holes for the screws have to be cut right through and the countersink is cut to a depth of 14mm you may be able to adjust this slightly to make the board stronger so maybe able to get away with a 12 of 13mm depth for strength Any questions or issues please highlight and feedback always welcome.
