Thank you! This CNCing approach has been around for a while - unfortunately, most hobby-level machine owners don't know how to set it up. So we hope this tutorial will help people to make the most of their CNC routers.
Really nice to see that you got that no-tabs workflow figured out! Also looks like you're running a lot faster than before and full-depth at that! Really nice work my guy!
It's all because of your encouragement to try it out - Thank you! We sped up some parts of the video, so the cutting might appear faster than usual. However, we still run the 3 mm bit at 4500 mm/min when cutting 12 mm sheets - this leaves the best cut surface without negatively affecting the shape of the component.
Nice, I always use the zero position of the center left lower hole in the spoilboard for all tiles, this make it possible to always restart by just making 2 new holes in my spoilboard if I would loss home. But as long as you always have a way to propobly find a position on your work it will work as a home.
Using the same positioning holes for all tiling projects definitely makes sense. I often find myself forgetting the exact coordinates of the positioning holes, so I end up having to make new ones each time.
@@Aribaboxyes, and aslong as your work is not the exakt width as the workarea of the cnc you can always move the holes just before start the next cut and just setting a new home possition. An other way would be to just zero on the lower coner of the spoilboard and always make the hole on the same position.
@@LarsDunemarkIndeed, moving the workpiece between operations is an option, but it does introduce an additional step that requires careful attention during CNC operations. Personally, I prefer to maintain the same home position as the CNC's default setting to simplify the process. This helps in keeping things straightforward and reduces the chances of errors.
6:45 I assume its trying to find a good deflection for a tangent approach to the line it wants to cut and with more length it just doesnt care what it cuts in the process, while a short closure error gives it little wiggle room (room it can mess up).
Thank you for the input! That makes sense. The first time using the tiling approach it wasn't very clear, why the 3 mm lead-in was extended to 40 mm - just had to find ways to work around it.
For the demonstration, we used Onefinity Journeyman. However, you can use the same tiling approach on any CNC machine if you can slide a workpiece through the work surface.
We used Onefinity Journeyman CNC for the demonstrations. However, this approach works with any CNC machine, as long as you can slide your workpiece across the workpiece.
