CNC – ship shape and Bristol fashion
I went out to the CNC this morning, all ready to get down to cutting. I had a test pattern to cut, and a scaled-down version of my nemesis, The Pumpkin, too. So of course I spent the whole day … Continue reading

Now that I have router speed control, it’s time to start thinking about the actual cutting speeds I should be using, rather than just running everything full-out. I searched around, and this site had a pretty good rule-of-thumb for calculating … Continue reading

Well, that was satisfying. I finally used the new CNC machine “in anger” and cut out a “real” project. I’d been thrashing around, trying to convince myself that I wasn’t just procrastinating, and after a couple of hours of messing … Continue reading
