My Guitar Neck CNC CAM Strategies 

I appreciate that!

Noted!

Wow, thanks @domingosraposo3029, I really appreciate the support.

No. Most of my roughing and finishing operations are done with a 1/4" endmill. I've tried ball ends up to 3/4," but found it made little improvement. Certainly not worth the trouble of switching bits.

Thank you!

I haven't had any issues with unmilled portions on my angled headstocks.

Rhino CAM is a plug in that you have to pay for. It's only available for Windows and I work on a Mac.

I see it does have a hefty price tage. You're so good about answering questions. I appreciate it.🎸🎸⚡⚡@@HighlineGuitars

I sometimes use my band saw or just a small hand saw.

I like using Easel Pro for 2D cutting because it's fast and easy. Also, I need to use Easel Pro as my g-code sender. BTW, next week, Inventables will be introducing a full 3D solution that may replace MeshCAM altogether.

@@HighlineGuitars Good to know! Thanks Chris

I have had 3 CNC machines, each one significantly better than the previous one.

It seems you're asking if there is any substantial difference between guitars made on CNC machines. If they're all automated, they must all be the same, you might conclude. Check out the Driftwood Guitars video that discusses this. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--QYkwwolMec.html To answer your question, a CNC machine can cut out shapes, but there is a lot more in the process of making a guitar, especially acoustics. Even in electrics, though, you need to get the neck to fit right, you need to set up the string action, get the nut right. The frets need to be leveled and shaped correctly. The fretboard can have any kind of radius to it. Getting the finish right takes skill too. All these things can affect the quality of the instrument.

They have the best as far as speed is concerned. Their machines need to crank out parts at a very high rate.

The CNC machine would have no problem making the Endure neck. It wouldn't be any more challenging than a regular Strat or Tele neck. In fact, it would be easier since there's no headstock.

@@HighlineGuitars lets see it happen!

@@ChristIsLord229 I've been toying with the idea, but I have to clear my schedule and it's going to be a while!

@@HighlineGuitars how much would you sell one for? Im interested

@@ChristIsLord229 Probably $2,000 to $2,500.
