CNC Shark Forum

It is unfortunate about the optical disk, but office supply places will convert for you also (for a small fee). Staples, Office Depot... Try schools, like High schools or local trade collages. If you go to coffee stores where folks are sitting around drinking coffee looking at their laptops, just ma...

Great to hear that you young folks are interested in CNC machining. These sharks can do mild metals and most plastics. Spoil boards are as customizable as the need. Yes, with wood or plastic, most spoil boards are MDF or old very cheap plywood. Much of the design of your spoil board depends on the s...

WOW! I thought this was theirs. They use to respond to questions asked about NWA.

pj26, I've had similar experiences where square corners get rounded. What I did to fix my problem was to set the speed of my cut in the tool section slower, like half the speed. It has to do with centrifugal forces and what not. I think the machine does the rounding. That is why you don't see it on ...

I remember when there were 15 to 20 pos...

Thanks.

With nothing that I could find to go on, I started to draw something symmetric. I'm still looking for suggestions here. Figuring something like 24" wide, 20" deep on a 2" thick board but only cutting 1" deep, this is what I came up with. Interesting enough, I figure I'll have to carve it and try it ...

While looking through Youtube about things I find interesting, I ran across this about sharpening router bits. The better router bits are expensive and they get dull also. After watching this video, I purchased some of the stuff recommended and it works!! There may be other ways of doing this but fo...
