CNC Router Question

<< < (3/3)

I'm very interested in CNC files for the most popular arcade machines. ( in fact any cabs ) If anyone has them, in any format, I wouldgreatly appreciate.
DXF, AI, autocad or any format. ( 1:1 )

For the likes of PacMan, Galaga, Defender, Donkey Kong Cabs Etc.

I have found a lead to have them done ( Routered ) but getting the layouts in a format for the CNC shop has been a problem.

I used jakobuds plans to set up my outlines for the two cabinets I will be milling.  WARNING - I did have to connect some points and massage some corners.

I'll ditto that one. Some classic Nintendo plans would be sweet if anyone ever comes up with any.

Having done this exact process, I can say it's not as easy as you'd think.
Particularly if your planning on exactly replicating the original cabinet.

Additionally most "cabinet" style CNC's aren't able to do anything but vertical cuts. Many cabinets include angled cuts, which would have to be done manually.

Then you get into bit availability..
Some shops don't have multi-bit tool changing machines, and can't handle narrow kerf cuts (Such as the ones used in tongue and groove assembled cab's).
Also, the bit's designed for getting a finish on MDF are different than those used for laminated ply so that will have to be considered as well.

Did anyone ever come good with the CNC files?
