Thread: Box making with a CNC

It's done with a 91degree v bit. Amana makes them. Check out toolstoday.com , they have them.

Thanks orbit308. Silly of me, yes it must have been a 90deg cutter.

I was actually after the link to the video showing this cutting and folding process

I found this which is the same process as I expected to find. just a bog standard 90degree vee groove bit which cuts the folds. It can be done with a normal plunge router, but it is a pita.

Thanks for this , Kuffy. the video I was looking for, as shown previously on this Forum, was a spectacular coloured box, possibly made of a sheet veneered both sides

Hi Dengue,
I posted some veneered boxes on here a couple of years ago that were made using what I call the Origami method. Look under some of my projects and you will see the items.
very quick,very accurate and very simple.Just use a good quality 90 degree Vee bit in a router table and some painters tape in the glue up.
PM me if you need further details
regards

Thanks for this info, Ruddy. It led me to your magnificent rosewood keepsake box for your granddaughter, it was a joy to behold.

It then eventually led me to what I was trying to find - you can see it here: The EZ mitre technique - by BritBoxmaker @ LumberJocks.com ~ woodworking community
