I have no problem building a more heavy-duty sound dampening enclosure for the dust collection vacuum, but I'm trying to figure out how (or if) I can keep noise levels of the CNC machine within a...

I'm looking at buying a small benchtop CNC milling machine to primarily do 3D carving of custom generative art, similar to this example. I would have no problem sticking mainly to softer materials...

If possible, I'd like to use a very hacky 4x4' machine that I have access to at a local makerspace. I created a lot of documentation for it, so if you have specific questions let me know. There are...

Sweet. Do you recommend a compression cut end mill for both the roughing and finish passes?

It might be OK if the top surface is just a little bit less clean than the bottom, if that opens up more...

I'm working on a project in which I need to drill lots and lots of 1/2" diameter holes into several large panels routed from 3/4" baltic birch plywood (see attached drawing, with inches as unit) to...

A-ha! I think you're right! My brain got stuck on the idea of 10 threads per inch for whatever reason, so whenever I looked at the end I just kept seeing 10 threads, haha. Now that you say 8 I...

I'm working on restoring an old, hand-built CNC machine at my local hackerspace, and specifically have started focusing on building a new electronic control system for it. Unfortunately the machine...

Looks like the stepover for all of my toolpaths are set to 10% - maybe I should decrease it down to 8% if that makes a difference?

I tried cutting with the grain on a block of pine and got similar...

I just started playing with a Roland Modela MDX-40A about a week ago and have been using VCarve Pro to explore 3D contour milling in various materials. So far I have tried insulation foam, cutoffs of...
