Nice Project Chris, reminds me that my guitar (Vintage SG copy) needs a damn good service. The frets need at the very least flatting/re-profiling and probably some of them replacing. They'll first have to scrape off the thick layer of dust from it.....
Once I've made a new back plate for my Z axis to give me more cutting height I want to make either an explorer or a V

That will be a cool project to watch Neil, although Gibsons are a more complex build from what I've seen, hence I'm sticking with Fender styles for now. You can kind of see with a machinist's eyes how Leo Fender designed his guitars for mass production and minimising the operation times for each component.

Nice little project and video but you know I've got to comment on that "poor mans Adaptive milling" . . Lol . . . . .He can't be that poor because he likes wasting electricity and time cutting air.!!
Com-on Washout I'd thought by now you'd know how to manual g-code to do that job in half the time.!

Lol yeah I thought that might provoke some comment. Its at least better than the back and forth one I ran on the Mic Pop Filter project :-)
You're right of course I should know better and have dabbled recently with a bit of manual editing of G-Code. I'll likely have a crack at shortening the operation time on this part if I need to cut another one like a good CNC padawan should :)My CNC Projects: https://www.youtube.com/imadethisoncnc

Look towards subs using M98 and "L" option for repeating and then using G91 incremental mode for stepping over inside the sub.!! . . . . have fun it's good exercise worth the effort in long run for simple stuff like this.
Another good tool often under used is Mach3's mdi and Teach tool.? Teach remembers the Mdi commands and writes them to txt file. Great for short runs or odd unusual jobs that are best done with MDI air cutting first.!! (I often use MDI for creeping up on dimensions or correcting Cock ups, not that I ever make any of course.! ). . . . Try it you'll be surprised how easy it is and quite rewarding.Last edited by JAZZCNC; 06-10-2015 at 11:49 PM.
