In the reception of framed data, a frame slip is the loss of synchronization between a received frame and the receiver clock, causing a frame misalignment event, and resulting in the loss of the data contained in the received frame.
Note: A frame slip should not be confused with a dropped frame where synchronization is not lost, as in the case of bufferoverflow, for example.
One disadvantage of this joint is that the cheeks must be clamped together during glueup, in addition to the regular clamping required to keep the mortise against the shoulder of the tenon.
When applying a veneer to the face of a frame, the joint line where the grain changes direction may move at different rates, and may eventually cause damage that will be visible in the veneer.
A slip joint with the appearance of a mitered joint can be made by first mitering the slot of the slip joint, then by cutting the tenon on an angle to match the miter so the shoulders have a mitered appearance, but the tenon itself ends square.
