How to usecnc in woodworking

This one is rated for aluminium and also wood but their sfm and doc data are only for metal. I’ll write them an email to see if they can help.

Does anyone have used such tools on the SO3 and would kindly advise me before I order it? My project necessitates a groove on a vertical wall to insert a lid. Materiel is HDF. Using Fusion 360 for tool path.

I had issues with it pushing away from the part, the first one I made was out of spec and didn’t cut the slot deep enough. I ended up forcing it into the cut with my hand guiding the router. Not the greatest solution, but it worked well enough.

My machine is a Shapeoko 3 standard with HDZ. I ran it at 15,000rpm, 48ipm/0.0008ipt, with a 0.016in stepover for the roughing passes and a .005in stepover for the finishing pass.

Hi Cole, Thanks. I did download the HT library and will do simulation before the cut. Did you used the same tools and if so, do you have any suggestion about feed and speed?

I’ve used them. Using fusion 360 for toolpaths works fine, just beware of your lead-ins and lead-outs to make sure it won’t cut something you don’t want. If you import the tools from the Harvey tool library you can run the simulation and see if anything will crash. Speeds and feeds probably need adjustment from their recommendations based on the reduced machine rigidity, same as any other tools.
