Hey All,
In the process (finally!) of figuring out my first bartop arcade machine. From reading through the thread I answered a lot of my questions with using the plans on the first page though what I'm not sure on how to setup my tool paths to run. I understand the part about cutting pockets for the yellow/red in the file but for the outside edges, I assume the bit follows the line directly as opposed to an inside/outside offset. If that's the case, what size bit should be used? I don't either eat away to much material with a bigger bit or leave extra by using a smaller bit. And looking at the file, I guess I would ask the same of the button holes. Should they be cut following the line directly? It wouldn't make sense to cut these as pockets but wanted to verify first.
If anyone is interested, using a Shapeoko XXL and Carbide Create.
Thanks!
