Old Man Learning CNC (OMLCNC)

[OMLCNC]

The Leigh jig has templates for some really strange-looking "dovetail" interlocking joints. Not sure how many of them are possible with CNC...

This is true, but they are expensive £564.96, I think (But they were made on a "Precision CNC Machine" in aluminium alloy according to the catalogue), so what could I do with my machine when its built? (Naughty)

No I won't do that I will be designing and programming my own or using someone else programme, its this infinite possibility idea of CNC that I like.

Erm, that is not correct,
And I quote - "All G-Code is to be executed with a 30-degree engraving or V-bit." ;-)

My mistake, I was thinking of Fingermaker.
But the principle is the same. Lots of passes with a small bit, and no other option.

Bottom line, as with any CAM software, use whatever you like best.

You can use as big a cutter as you like as it's the angle that matters, watching the video it's not particularly slow or limited to tiny cuts either.
The main feature is all the things it cuts only require the material to be mounted at 15 degrees from horizontal meaning ordinary routers can cut joints on the end of long boards.
