Re: Most Precise Two Sided Machining Strategy
I will be using a 4 axis machine and i'll be able to tilt the spinde for those undercuts. By the way, those are not tabs, but that's the actual piece i need. I will be using another software for tilting the spindle on the 4th axis. This is how the piece looks like with side support for dowels and br...

Most Precise Two Sided Machining Strategy
I need to machine some pieces on both sides and they need to align perfectly.
What would be the best strategy for this?
Did anyone try a 3D probe? Is it more precise than using dowels?
Thanks!

Re: profile cut pass depth and feed speed
Thank you all for your great suggestions! I'll do some tests and see how it goes. The idea Rcnewcomb had with 2 passes and first pass with a wider bit is interesting.

Re: profile cut pass depth and feed speed
For the profile cut, i have a 100mm long bit with a diameter of 8mm that needs to cut 60mm deep to the half of the material thickness, and then i need to turn the material over and cut the other 60mm. In order to make these cuts, how much can my pass depth be and what maximum feed rate can i have? ...

Re: profile cut pass depth and feed speed
Sorry i forgot to mention the material. It's lime. I know the rule is 1/2 of the bit diameter for the pass depth, but as the bit is longer it will bend and vibrate. The bits seller adviced me to set the pass depth to 1mm because the bit is very long and subtle and it can break and that's my biggest ...

Re: next pass to start from the last pass position
I'm not going to make a new toolpath for each pass. I would end up with about 30 toolpaths. I just can't believe there is no option for this! If you have a 2000mm long pass even if machine rapid is fast, i still lose a few seconds on each pass, and that means a few minutes on my current project. I t...

next pass to start from the last pass position
At the moment if i have a toolpath that requires 4 passes, every pass the tool will go at the tp start location and mill from there. Is there any way to tell it to start the next toolpath from where it is? It's a waste of time to go all the way at the start location when it could just continue from ...

Re: toolpath strategy for complex shape bookshelf
From the pictures its hard to know the scale, but seeing how the grain on the drawer fronts match the body, I am guessing its a bandsaw box. Very creatively cut. I might give something like that a try. Very creative. Sort of Art Nouveau. One could make something similar by stacking and cutting laye...

Re: toolpath strategy for complex shape bookshelf
Would there be any advantage? It's much more expensive and the layers are too thin.Adrian wrote:Have you thought about doing it in high quality plywood instead?
