Great video! A little tip on setting tool offsets... never measure from the top of your work, always measure from the table or fixture using a standard height block. It can be any height, as long as long as you know what it is. Then measure the delta between your tool reference and your workpiece reference. This way if you machine off the top of your workpiece and you need to change/replace a tool mid-cut you still have your datum.

[@rogerwebb9600]

Great tip!

i got so much better at cnc wood carving once i realized the importance of calculating the spindle rpm for the feed rate and the specifications of the bit. The bit doesn't even get too hot to touch when it's making chips properly; You just have to get more comfortable putting some lateral force on it instead of thinking the cnc machine is supposed to be moving with no resistance

Nice job done Roger. You remind me of an old friend of mine who has since pass away. I watched several of your videos and enjoy them always. A brother N law of mine use to do refinery work, with various aluminum, brass ect... he was very good at it and some times they had things like the eagle to pour in metals, and they would on occasion use a sand blaster to remove the roughness, I use sand blasters for engraving and if you use filtered silicone sand it is like high grit sand paper, lets say 1000 grit plus and it is easy to sand with, might be an option in your future and it gets into all the small areas for ultimate sanding.

[@Giblet535]

It might need cleanup, but I really like the look of that cedar with that pine. Very understated and pleasant. Using a shiny new ball-end cutter might reduce the hand tooling, but you can treat the cedar with sealer (Min-Wax Sanding Sealer works) before the final tool change to reduce tear outs at sharp angles. Just slow down your spindle & feed, give the piece lots of time to dry, then pause and check occasionally to make certain the cutter flutes aren't clogging with material. The first time I tried that, I didn't wait long enough for the sealer to dry. The very tip of the ball-end cutter clogged, got hot, burned the piece, then broke the cutter. Spot treatment with cyanoacrylate adhesive has worked for me, but it gets soft when heated, so caution is advised.

[@Poor.Sausage]

Those remaining outer edges are a little time consuming to reduce down, prior to swapping out the cutter again for the fine cutter. Why not enter instructions at the very beginning with the 12.7mm cutter installed that removes 6-8mm from the left and right side and then continues to rough cut the object (in this case it is an Eagle). Reducing those outer edges first would save you an awful lot of time and also a whole cutter change. not to mention the wear and tear of that cutter. Just a thought. God bless.

Could you replace the bits with metal cutters and make a brass eagle? Before they had computers I used to use a tape drive milling machine and carved out different things with aluminum. I was trained back then by a teacher that machined parts for the first space shuttle. He helped make the doors on the space shuttle and normal tolerances for machining are plus or minus 5 thousandths, but for the space shuttle the tolerances were plus or minus one thousandth.

[@hetlerz4sken]

that is more likely work for the bigger industrial cnc mills like a vf-2 or something from what i see these garage cnc machines only ever cut wood

[@elonquemattheson6151]

It depends how rigid this router is and what the spindle horsepower is. Routers are normally reserved for wood and plastic, while CNC mills are used for metals (and plastics). This particular machine might be able to handle brass though, it's not a very tough material to cut.

[@cjgreenwood]

You can also take off the furring with a blowtorch, and it can add to the piece if you’re careful.

[@ianide2480]

As soon as I saw all the jagged fury edges I thought, more cutting paths would also help with the amount of post processing. I would have tried double or even triple the roughing passes. then I would have switched to a 3/8ths inch ball cutter and left about 0.010" of stock with a decent 0.025" step-over. If your software has "rest milling" it will only go over areas it has to mill for the 3/8ths, I don't know how complicated or how complete of a package that software is. If possible (with your software), I would have used an 1/8th inch ball mill after that and cleaned out a bit more, again leaving 0.010" stock with the same 0.025 step-over. Then switch to your finishing tool, looks like a tapered ball mill. Perhaps go a tiny bit slower or give it more spindle speed and feed (both). Wood can be tricky to get a smooth finish with the more exotic woods, as you have noticed. Please keep in mind that I am not "telling you what to do" or being an armchair critic. I'm just thinking out loud what I might try after seeing how that type of wood has responded to the tool paths that you tried.

[@wornoutwasd8567]

It may be more cost effective to finish it by hand. Doing another entire pass (or multiple passes) with that small of a tool takes forever. You could almost have another one cut out in the time it takes. I guess it just depends on what other orders you are filling at the time and if it is better time management to let the machine do the work.

To expedite the process after the roughing pass, set a boundary along the relief and only machine within the relief and you won't spend any time outside on the pine. If you zero from the pine, and set up your file accordingly, you can zero .02 below and let the pine act as the sacrificial board and remove all excess in the roughing pass and save significant time. Nice video mate.

[@antigrabbityisyourbalconys3356]

Hi Roger, I've found with some woods, to avoid furry bits you do the clearance along the grain and then the finish across the grain. Also a straight ball nose rather than a tapered ball nose does slightly better as it gets down into the cusps better. Also, you can do an offset tool path, it takes longer but there is less post cleaning up. What wood do you find mills the best with no fuzzies?
