Bear with me a point is coming I swear... The difference between climb and conventional with a quarter inch bit can be drastic. This is further compounded the thinner (width wise not height) your material is. This also changes whether you're cutting in the inside of something like a pocket or the outside of something like a profile pass. This difference is lessened with a half inch bit but not non existent. Basically, deflection in your bit and machine can be significant. The harder and faster you run it the more it deflects. So... In the eye cutout pass, a climb cut would be counter clockwise. This means your pocket is going to be smaller than a conventional or clockwise pass. This is because the cutting force is pulling the bit into the material you are removing thus deflecting the bit towards the inside of the material. A good way to think about this is, as the flute of the router bit grabs it is working way harder on the inside of the pocket so the bit and machine are deflecting towards the direction where the bulk of the material is being removed. As the flute comes around towards the outside of the cut the bit and machine are slightly skewed towards the inside of the pocket. On a machine like yours I would imagine that couple be as much as a couple hundredths or a few thou. I'm sitting at my desk and I am 99% sure I didn't have that reversed in my mind. But wither way, machines, especially smaller cncs deflect a lot more than people think. This is one of the challenges we face when manufacturing things like our crosscut sled kits, router table and box joint jig. Dialing in all the tolerances and pockets are way harder than you think. For the recent sled kits we released I thought, oh this will be so easy. I already spent a week dialing in the size of the runner for the box joint jig so I'll just put that exact same size and tool path into the new file and make it longer. NOPE! 72 runners later I finally dialed it in and that's on an $80k Laguna Fanuc cnc so I can only imagine that on the Onefinity you're going to get pretty substantial differences between cuts. HERE's my point, use finishing passes to your advantage. All this deflection is greatly reduced when you remove all the stresses from the bit. Leave about .004 for your last pass and you'll see much more consistent (but still slightly different) results. Cheers, Jonathan Katz-Moses

Those look great and tons of great information. Nice job!

I have to admit you do some real amazing work, my love watching your videos. Have a blessed day.

Those are outstanding!

Simple, fun designs that would sell....made out of scraps. All while learning about tolerances. Great lesson and skill builder. Thanks for the post. 😊

I’m excited you made this because I have been wanting to try it and I woulda probably just went for it and winged it. 😂

I like it! Can’t wait to try that out on my CNC

I’ve been getting into CNC cuts for furniture. I use this technique for dovetails and such in my designs.

Those are awesome

So smart to make the pocket slightly larger!

Great video thanks

very cool, like puzzle pieces!

Great video and a great idea. I will have to try that toolpath myself soon. Your comment about Climb over conventional was interesting. I made some side tables recently and used half lap dovetail joints for the base and found Climb cuts work better. I got a comnvetional cut to fit one time then the next attempt with the exact same setting did not go together the same way. I don't no why either but I seemed to get a more consistant fit with a climb cut so I took the hint and go with climb all the time for these joints now.

Cool!

That’s pretty cool! Thanks for sharing!

Fantastic!!!!

Can you show us how you designed the donut?

How are you liking the air weights? Saw the initial video. Can you do a follow up after you've used it for some time. Seriously thinking about getting one.

Hey there - new to your channel, I'm interested in starting in the CNC hobby. Can you provide details for the setup that you have including software and any additional parts that are needed?

So what is your cnc machine? What other ones would you suggest?

Very cool. Thanks. Do you have info or a video on your hydraulic press?

Great video! What kind of plate do you have on your Hydraulic press?

Nice Video , thank you.. question ! :) is there a cnc machine that has a hobby affordable price ... that can make something like this ?

So you ended up doing a regular profile path NOT the inlay path correct? Just cutting outside the line on the male and inside the line on the female?

20T Press? It's the Punsisher's cutting board. It needed to be punished.

So Im confused...| Male to Male you don't need a tolerance? and female to female you do? Whats the tolerance 0.01 ? Best, Rick

What if your wood doesn't identify as male or female? The one piece you called male may identify as a non-organic HDPE flowerpot. You were oppressing it while you pressed it with that press 😅
