Re: Circumference cut?

I presume there will have to offsets and horizontal leads but its weird I thought there would be m...

Circumference cut?
Is it possible to cut a groove around the circumference of a wood disk? Say to edge light a shaped tabletop with a led strip, I know a handheld router can do it but my motto is if the CNC can do it, let it do it.

Is that a thing in CNC posts?

So my thought is to take a piece of 1/2" mdf and draw a centerline down it with angled lines (60deg) and mirror it on the opposite side of th...
