once i get my cnc machine so i can cut panels out of 18mm 4 x 8 laminated mdf, i need to slot the edges of the panels with a 2mm kerf in the center of the edge which is 9mm down. i have seen slotter/groover router bits for doing this and was planning to slot them by hand once the panels were cut.
is it possible to slot them on a cnc router though? i know the slotter bit is much wider compared to a normal cutting bit.
is the solution to arrange my panels on the 4 x8 sheet cad drawing so that most of the out edge is the edge that needs slotting and i can get most of the slotting down automatically.
or maybe set up another program where i can line up all the cut panels after they are cut on the machine and just run the slotter down the edge in a single pass, flip the panels run it again.
does anyone know if this is a realistic possibility?
i've never used a cnc before
