Hi All, We are painfully close to having the 8x4 ft CNC machine available for use! - this beast: [image] Tool page is here: 8' x 4' CNC Machine This session is to finish the remaining tasks to get it ready to go. We need your help! I will keep adding to this punch list: [*] Modify VCarve po…

Yea a drill stand would be perfect - we can use the CNC to make a shallow hole and finish with the drill stand… is it kicking around the woodshop? Thanks!

I think I may have seen it in the snug, but I could be wrong. You’ll have to have a look around :frowning:

Indeed you could mark w/ the CNC, 2mm would be enough, just big enough to see, right? Still, I think a big ruler + square would be faster than all that jogtime, even if it’s just one pass! But the result would look prettier yourway. Nice suggestion on the drill stand Ryan!

Big enough to locate the drill also… one pass will be fast, and we need this to be easily repeatable, so better to have the CNC do as much as possible…

Hey @Jonathan - any luck with CNC hold downs? Thanks!!

Let’s be honest…g-code written by @Kyle and machine set up by @Kyle and @asander1 I just but the fabric on :joy:

really clever idea! lol… love the “material hold down” :smiley: :smiley:

What’s your plan with the fabric? Pattern looks like it might be some kind of reinforcing/quilting :thinking:

Yes :grinning: I am prototyping a weighted blanket. Is as asked by someone if I could make one. They tend to be very expensive and quite thick which can make you really hot. The filling also tends to move around and becomes uneven. So the idea is to use a thin cotton fabric and make a relatively fi…
