Re: Help for a begginer [UK]
hello did you get any answers to your question on here? I have just become more active on here and thought I could help you out with some guidance? appreciate your thread is a bit old now but it is possible to cut out quite efficiently the parts you described. we used to machine carcuses for large jobs in ply and mdf. sort of a rib cage which would then get paneled over etc. we basically placed the sheet onto the bed onto a sacrificial board in the same material say as its cheap. that sacrificial board only needs to be double side taped down. we then placed our sheet on top and nailed the 4 corners through into the slave board holding it in place.
Next we machined the outline of the parts into the board about about 2mm depth or any depth will suffice just so you can see the outline of the parts etc. then you can go about adding more nails in the interior edges of your parts which will then hold the in place during the remaining machining.
machine down into the sacrificial board slightly the pull out the nails and your left with your parts.
