	A [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butt_joint#Screwed_butt_joint '''Butt Joint'''] is a simple coming together of two edges or faces. The joints can be fixed by simply gluing but more often is reinforced or strengthened before doing so. '''Butt Joints''' can be used to widen boards, make frames and create carcasses.

This can be achieved ''off the saw'' if care is taken using a '''[[Tenon Saw]]''' and a '''[[Mitre Box]]''' for example. Alternatively a '''[[Precision Mitre Saw]]''' or '''[[Radial Arm Saw]]''' will produce more predictable results. In all cases, scribing the joint lines with a '''[[Marking Knife]]''' will help to ensure clean edges at the joint face.
