Something I didn’t think of before. You could just as easily use a laminate trim bit if your parts are difficult to flip over so the tab is above the bearing.

I think I have both so I’ll try a...

Yes, that's it exactly, an upside down router table. And if you don't have a good panel bit, here's a nifty 3/16ths panel trim although it's a tad spendy for just trimming tabs but it all depends on...

Definitely use tabs to hold work while cutting. I use a 3D tab about 1/16" to "1/8" thick about 1/4" long, depending on whether I'm using an up or down cut mill to cut the profile. Then easy as can...

Thanks for the response. I discovered the issue is my inexperience with CNC in general and single flute bits in particular. I reduced the router speed and set chip load for a 0.004" chip at .1875 and...

EDIT

Ok, I spoke too soon. It cuts OK but the bit gets hot. Not smoking, bit breaking hot but hot enough to leave dark marks (no blue) on the tip of the bit after a couple hours of running and...

I think you're right. Now that I corrected the dust shoe too low issue I'll try 3/16 deep passes again and see if it will work without chatter. Even if I have to slow down, a 3/16 pass at 50IPM is...

First off, thanks for the quick reply. I appreciate the help.



I did just that, I was running really noisy, chattering like hell at 20IPM and I gradually increased the feed rate to 60IPM while...

I'm quoting because this is right up my alley in terms of a question. I'm working on a project for a customer that consists of a 3", single piece box shell cut from 6/4 Pine. I need to cut these...

I have a customer that needs a speaker baffle cut with facets on three sides. I have a working 3D raster program that works but it has obvious issues like raster lines and it takes a while to cut....

I guess it depends on how much and in what direction you stress the MDF. I've tried it too and although it cuts nice and aligns well It seems like a straight butt or miter joint is less susceptible...

The flat table cut is only part of the story. Using Vcarve 7 I can create a custom tool profile for the bit so it will generate the cutting code for me. Cutting 1/2" material with the 3/4" bit...

I'm working on a project that was initially going to use a Miter Fold joint but I can't get the Birch Plywood to cooperate so I've decided to use my Lock Miter bit instead. I was thinking of cutting...

I prefer not to have to run an old OS to support a dead hardware impelementation and old PC's are just too slow to boot and mess with not to mention how quickly they overheat when covered with dust....

The KRM looks nifty. I do like their construction idea and it would be very helpful to find a "how to make your first CNC cut" write-up to help calibrate sheet position, figure out physical distance...

After looking around I considered the KRMX02 kit but I think it's a bit to disorganized for me, I prefer the CRP2448 that you mentioned with Nema 23 electronics, a Porter Cable router mount, a cable...

Greetings,

My name is Tom. I'm here at the behest of someone on TechTalk at Parts Express in the Speaker Building forum. I'm interested in purchasing a CNC router for cutting out speaker box parts...
