Title: CNC Router Plans with Furniture Cams
Post by: Twoods196 on February 04, 2018, 10:56:23 am
Hello everyone, I wanna build my first bartop arcade. I have a OX CNC Router that I built and would like to cut the pieces with it. I have found a few CNC Plans on here but was curious if anyone know of any available that use the CAM and NUT system like used in alot of furniture. If not I was gonna design my own but figured I would ask here first before I go through the trouble to find out one was already available. Ive included a link for anyone that doesnt know what im talking about. Thanks!

The furniture CAMs would have to be in part cut by hand.  You are unlikely to find any CNC plans that incorporate them. I use Kregg screws for most of my assemblies and I get chastised but the "restoration" community for not using a staple gun like they were originally assembled.

Really, who criticizes you for that? Kreg is like the best thing ever.

Agreed.  Some of the better builds on this board were based around Kreg connections.  Knievel's stuff was top notch.

Wonder what happened to him?

Must be over at KLOV or something, most people still left on this board either love kreg screws or don't know what they are.
