The system comprises boards intended to be joined together, wherein a first board has a groove fitting with a tenon in a second board. According to the invention, the first board (A )has has a groove (2) provided with a rib on the top side of a lower edge, and the second board (B) has a tenon (1) provided with a ridge on the underside. A cut (3) is provided in the lower corner of the groove. The cut (3) makes the lower edge of the groove more flexible and can also take up excessive glue. Through this, the joining will be very simple to perform, whilst at the same time providing a strong joint. <IMAGE>
