Workshop Sign - Second Project

[smarcus3]

Second project beyond the first test cuts. Learning lots so far.

Way to go MASLOW TEAM! @bar

As cut

After ran through the planer.

I’m understanding everything except ‘after ran through the router’.

I can see the difference in the images, I’m just confused about using a router to get from A to B.

[smarcus3]

Sorry should have been ‘planer’ not router. Guess the router was still on my mind

[Carson_Barry]

No worries at all, for sure.

I figured that you meant planer or sander, but I’ve been watching enough Sci fi lately that I was also open minded to finding out what wonderful router technique could have done that. Lol.

[smarcus3]

I have used a router and a gantry type jig to flatten a large wooden stump piece by hand. That was a long process. So I guess you could but very inefficient.

[Carson_Barry]

I thought along those lines. Wouldn’t expect such a clean surface finish, though. Should have stripes from the bit and jig not being perfect in that case.

[smarcus3]

Very correct. Was good enough to clean up with sanding though.

Love it! Way to go, Marcus!

[smarcus3]

Thanks.

[bar]

This looks fantastic! Great work!

[smarcus3]

Thanks bar. The CNC works great for this so far. Still working to see if V Carving can be improved with different software to generate the G Code or its just the inaccuracies of the hardware causing the bumpy/ waveyness.

Hi there. Do you have a picture of your setup on the Maslow for this?

[smarcus3]

Here’s a similar setup.

Blue arrow would be the work piece being cut

Orange is a plywood sheet acting as the base. Not fixed to the ground.

Red is an anti slip mat between the work piece and the base.
