Making a clock and so have quite a few gears to cut all out of 1/2" thick plywood. I made my toolpath in my CAM and all is good to go but the problem is the endmill.
Since the teeth are very close together (8”OD gear with 64 teeth) I must use a 1/16” endmill but the cutting end of these endmills is less than 1/2" so I will not be able to cut through the 1/2" plywood.
Any ideas how to go about it?
