Intro to Compression Endmills for CNC Woodworking

Posted April 13, 2018 Winston MoyLeave a commentPosted in CNC

I have a love-hate relationship with wood. On the one hand, it’s the foundation for countless beautiful pieces throughout history. On the other, the non-isotropic properties of the fiberous stuff makes it annoying to machine at times. When cutting it, fibers can lift away from your piece leaving a ragged edge. But there is a […]

Machine-Leveled Supplementary Wasteboard for the Shapeoko

Posted April 24, 2017November 13, 2019 Winston Moy4 CommentsPosted in CNC

Your parts are only as accurate as the machine you make them on, and the table is an important part of the Shapeoko’s accuracy. A machine-leveled worksurface is essential for getting cuts of consistent depths, especially with thin materials. This is how I designed a supplementary wasteboard for my Shapeoko that I could affix work […]

San Francisco Skyline Burnt Wood Art – CNC Project 79

These are some basic clamps you can use to hold down flat materials. I usually laminate two 7/32″ plywood pieces together to make a single, stronger clamp. The longer clamp is meant to span two holes 3″ apart, so you could theoretically clamp across a bar, or other thin piece. SVG Files:

Using Inkscape and MakerCAM to Generate GCode

Posted January 23, 2014 Winston MoyLeave a commentPosted in Arduino, CNC, Eng/Sci/Tech, Projects

It only took 3 weeks, but I now have both a functional Desktop CNC machine and a viable workflow for 2.5-D milling. This video summarizes my journey from a simple SVG made in Inkscape to a milled test piece in cardboard that I will proudly hang in my office.
