The all in one, 'how do I' and 'look at this!' thread...
Figured since in general C1's threads have been taken over with all sorts of other things, maybe we need a thread in a better spot for all the normal chatter that is seen in them (and in other ones) about projects being worked on, projects finished, questions about machines, questions about software, questions about wood, cutters, etc.
So here we are.
I'll start with one, I had been using a .25 downcut EM to do all my cutout tool paths... on occasion I'd get tearout when going around a corner. So this last run I did, I switched to an up-cut bit. Big mistake. Tear out on the 'face' of the cut in spots, and the actual cut out cut is rough and nasty.
So what do others use for cutouts, do they have the same issues, and how do they handle them?
