The typical interface between the master jaw and the removable jaw is a matching pair of serrated surfaces, which, once clamped by the mounting screws, cannot allow relative slipping between the two parts.
Normally, the desired outcome of jointing is an edge which is straight along its length and perpendicular to the face of the board. However, there is another technique often used when gluing up panels, referred to as a sprung joint. [1] In this technique, the desired outcome is an edge which is slightly concave along its length.
It then bites back into the wood from the side opposite the nail's head, forming a rivet-like fastening. [24] Clench-nails used in building clinker boats.

A tack is the windward side of a sailing craft (side from which the wind is coming while under way)—the starboard or port tack. Generally, a craft is on a starboard tack if the wind is coming over the starboard (right) side with sails on port (left) side. Similarly, a craft is on a port tack if the wind is coming over the port (left).
