here is a visual aid Load the .crv file. Set the material size The white area is your plywood or MDF Select the vectors you want to cut and move them onto the workspace Select the vector you want to cut. Pick the profile tool. Pick the endmill you are going to use and a couple other things those guys should know. Hit calculate. Calculate generates a Gcode file that the CNC machine uses to do the actual cutting. It isn't quite this simple, but it is pretty easy. |
| Mike A:
I would gladly cut these for you, but my CNC machine is only 12 x 24. I am worth on building a bigger machine, but that won't be finished any time soon. |

Let me plays devil advocate for a minute. Looking at cj138s Star Wars build I have to assume that the rebates you are talking about are one half of 3/4 deep making them 3/8 or .375 inches deep. |
| Mike A:
That looks about right. It is really easy to do that in VCarve. That V Carve file has vectors for the rebates. You just select that vector and use the pocket tool. Tell it how deep to go and hit calculate. The guys in the makerspace should have no trouble with this. I am guessing that as long as the rebate cuts are close you will be able to improvise. |
