I think this is the coolest thing I’ve seen made on the cnc. When you were having trouble putting the inlay in I was thinking oh just drill holes in the bottom to relieve pressure and then you said I drilled holes and it didn’t work hahaha. Great job!
Outstanding craftsmanship, I admire you for persevering through getting the inlay perfect without gaps or the wood cracking. A little trick I like to do when it comes to registering an awkward shape on the CNC is I engrave the profile of the shape onto a sacrificial piece of MDF first then register the stock using the outline as a guide 👌
Yeah good question! -0.008 was set for the "Stock to Leave" for Fusion 360's 2D contour pass. The negative value makes it cut more than it should. This value was starting to get too tight; I believe the bit starts to wear down and I'll have to add a few thousands of an inch to it when I do it again (ie: -.010). I think I'm going to do a video on how to come up with the values.
Thanks, I assume that was for your .125" size. I have found that wood species, ie hardness can effect the value as does the cutter radius. I really enjoy your creativity and hope you keep making videos. May I contact you to learn more about your automatic tool changer setup.
@@modelmaker007 Yup - that is the 1/8" Amana bit, doing 1/8" DOC passes. And I found the same: different wood has different tolerances required. Definitely email me if you have questions about the ATC - I'm happy to help out if I can. corbin @ corbinstreehouse dot com
For sure! My gantry height is a touch over 8", but I lose 1.5" from the spoilboard. The max z travel is 12" though; it can go a lot higher, but can't pass over 8".
Thanks for the shout out from the avid cnc group! I'm glad the skin helped with the inlay💪
Yeah! It was a great idea..and it really made it possible for me to succeed with this project.

Thanks! It sounds like we think alike!
You remind me of Frank Makes. Amazing build!!! ❤
Thanks! Frank has a great channel too..I like his content.

Thanks, that is a great idea on how to accurately register stuff!
Cool project.
Thanks!
Really nice!!!
Thanks!!
Impressive!!
Thanks!
As usual, very impressive! Thanks for the information.
Thanks!
Gorgeous work as usual!
Thanks Mark! That means a lot to me coming from you, so I appreciate hearing it.
Would love a video on your Fusion 360 process
Thanks! I'll work on some more Fusion tutorials at some point. This one was tricky to figure out!
Inspirational and beautiful work!
Thanks!!!
Looks great. What off set did you settle on for the inlay to get a nice fit but not too tight? Keep up the great work.

One cannot have too many Bessey clamps! What is the max Z height on your CNC? Cool project
