First Proper CNC Router

Very impressive! That just goes to show how important it is to spend time learning how to use the tools you have to their maximum capability.

I'm certainly tempted to try out my router on aluminium. I hadn't really though it was up to any serious work it until I saw that.

It's the adaptive tool paths that allow him to get away with it as they take very lite cuts but at full depth. If you notice when profiling using typical profile toolpath he was using a very small depth of cut(DOC) and feed rate because the machine wouldn't be able to handle taking correct DOC to suit the tool diameter. However Still impressive to say 3D printed.!

I noticed that. I think it's something my beloved CamBam software cannot do and might just be the last straw that kicks my a**e into gear and makes me put the effort into learning to use Fusion 360. I'm sure my machine is rigid enough, or it will be when I finally find a suppllier for the right sized Ally plates to convert my Z-axis from it's current plywood prototype assembly.
