That bit is a upcut and will tear the surface. Get a downcut bit. Use it in the same manner as the straight fluted bit.
Downcut bits have the flutes twist the opposite way to the bit you have....

Would you have a controller and blast gate that can be switched by G-code on a CNC machine.

Bob,
We at the Bicton shed have a similar problem with our single drum sander when the members try to use it as a thicknesser.

Bob,
Where did you source the force sensor from?
What value pots did you use for trim and comparison?

Well Bob you have got it working, could you now provide a list of parts used and the source code for the Arduino Uno?
The BMS is keen to fit it our DE, so we can stop the overflows that we are...

Your cyclone will work better with the inlet coming in from the side so the air circulates around and then exits out the top. Centrifugal force will separate the dust from the airflow.

Better than 8.1, start menu like windows of old! No window 'flipping' to apps tiles when selecting the start button.

We at the Bicton Men's Shed use the Incra jig and I have created drawers approximately 250mm in height using a 19mm dovetail. I had to start in the middle and work outwards to the edge on each piece...

Try King Gee work shoe from Total Workware, reasonably priced. You will have to pay to get a comfortable work shoes.


Regards, Arie.

Bicton Men's Shed checks the bin at the beginning of each session and empties it at the end. We have a manometer on the exhaust to indicate "incidents".

What OS are you willing to use. Autodesk Fusion 360 is "free" to small businesses. It is a CAD/CAM program that produces the required gcode.

Join CNCZone Forums.
Try Autodesk Fusion360 for your CAD/CAM software, Mach3 for your CNC controller software.

Bob,

Since that post the BMS has extended it's machine shop to double it's original size, which resulted in shifting the CV and new ducting to the machines. Most of the sharp bends have been...
