In this video, I’ll demonstrate and discuss the processes I used to manually surface one side of a Douglas Fir slab in Mach4 using my Avid 4848 Pro CNC Router.
First I’ll discuss why you would choose to surface materials on the CNC versus using a planer/thicknesser. I’ll discuss why we would manually drive the surfacing bit over the material versus creating a surfacing toolpath in Vectric Aspire or VCarve.
On the CNC router, I’ll show you how I mounted and indexed my work material on my spoilboard, and some of the things to watch out for along the way. Then I’ll demonstrate setting Z zero, using MDI commands, and Incremental Jogging to set my depth of cut when removing material in Mach4.
Finally, I’ll wrap up by sharing some of the lessons I learned during this process, and give you a brief preview of what I’ll be demonstrating in the next video in this mini-series.
