upright cabinet with small cnc

<< < (3/7) > >>

Unstupid:
What kind of CNC machine are you using?  Router, Laser, Plasma, Water Jet?

Fabrice:
router

macattack:
Love the idea, but I think you need to abandon the tab idea and simply go for a pocket approach. It would not only be far easier and quicker to cut on the cnc but also far easier to finish on the external once assembled. I too started out with a small cnc and moved to a large one. Also as I am sure you are aware you will have to add fillets to all the slots since the router cannot cut a square hole.

Fabrice:
tabs and hole will make the assembly easier, so i stay with this idea for the moment
off course fillet will be added

i receive every parts today: usb controller, buttons and joystick

need to find a computer to put inside and cut phase  can start

The title of this thread should be changed to "Full-Scale Arcade Cabinet 3D Jigsaw Puzzle"  :cheers:

That would be my concern as well.  I tend to side with the thought that milling half the material thickness away at the seam points on each side (for the long side sections), and overlapping them with glue between, would be the easiest and most sturdy way of going about this.  Pockets for the rest.   But I'll reserve judgment until I see the result :)
