    slatwall

    hi, i am new in this forum and this is my first post.

    i bought recently a cnc and i am trying to make slatwall.

    the milling is done correctelly, the only issue is the skin of slatwall is broken in the edges.

    i will post a picture to clarify.

    please help me, i have invested 20 000$ in this machine, only to make slatwall, and i am not able to do it.

    any ideas or opinion is welcome and very appreciated.

    Re: slatwall

    Looks like an issue with your tooling? Are you using a single tool to cut the slots? Maybe you need to cut the slot in the face first with a different tool?

    Why do you want to make your own slatwall? It would be a lot cheaper and easier to just buy it.
    If you plan on selling it, you're not going to do it with a $20,000 machine.

    thank you ger21 for your interest and reply, yes i am using one tool for the whole process.

    i will try using another tool for cutting.


    i did not buy the cnc to make slat wall for personal use, i am planning to sell slatwalls, this will me by business.
