For those of you with a horizontal setup on a concrete floor…… How are you holding your work pieces in place?
With thin 4mm ply I’m having to be the fixturing to make sure the ply does not move with the Maslow.
While this is a convenient easy to observe its getting a little tiresome
A
with material that light, weight and friction are not going to be enough
you can stick it down with double-sided tape or fasten it down with fasteners that you can cut through
Raptor plastic nails can work
or brass screws
hi,
I screw the boards through the groove base plate in the place where I will not cut.
This cut does not look very nice, what cutter does it use and the speed and feed?
I used the 2nd stage of 6 on the Makita, it is about 15000 rpm and a 6mm downcut cutter, feed 1800mm/min
The result is like this
but now I’ve come across another problem.
I’m cutting templates with a 3.125mm router into 4mm hardboard and I’m wondering why I have such a jagged cut
I found out that the board underneath it is probably harder than when I go in one pass, so the grooves from the previous cuts on the bottom board make the router vibrate, which is a jagged result.
The bottom board looks like this from the past… I’ll probably have to put some extruded polystyrene, something soft so that it doesn’t have an effect. I also make the cut down about 1mm below the workpiece
