butt joint
This term describes the most basic method of joining two pieces of material, characterized by a lack of complex geometry. Because it provides very little surface area for adhesives and no mechanical interlocking, it is considered the weakest type of joint in carpentry and metalworking.
In professional contexts, a butt joint is rarely used alone for structural loads. It is typically reinforced with fasteners such as nails, screws, or dowels to prevent the pieces from separating under stress.
