\"\"<\/a>My first true design of something for the Xcarve. There has been a few mistakes\u00a0along the way and still have not managed to get a final product from the machine<\/a> yet…<\/p>\n

I am close.<\/p>\n

The router bits, feeds and speeds are something that you must acquire and work to make test cuts etc…until you get a clean cut that does not destroy the router bit or the machine.<\/p>\n

I have had a few crashes and also made some part of the wrong size.<\/p>\n

I am getting close.<\/p>\n

I could have made this simple stool using traditional\u00a0techniques in a lot less time but I want to be able to get to a complete project where I know, I could simply put a large sheet of wood and press “Go” on the computer and it would cut all the parts needed to make this simple stool.<\/p>\n

I designed it in Fusion 360, then created all the tool paths for the X-Carve in the Cam environment.<\/p>\n

I am now using a Dewalt router, which is better than the previous Bosch Colt for which I destroyed the collet. I re-built the X-Axis as well to give it more rigidity when I installed the new X-Controller.<\/p>\n
