I would like to try using a 3/8" bit for sizing a board as instructed in the manual. I see in a prior post that bits other than from CW may be used but does that negate the warranty? I would like to try using a 3/8" bit for sizing a board as instructed in the manual. I would like the convenience of buying local at times. Anything special about the required 3/8” bit?
I also have this question about the cutting order on a project.
Let’s say I have a board 35 inches long by 11 wide. My project is 24x11. The project has a pattern and text. I would like the machine to size the board to 24x11 which entails cutting off both ends keeping in mind the 3 ½ roller requirement.
I believe the software is set up to carve the pattern(s) and the text first. Then it makes the cut offs leavings tabs to facilitate the rollers. When does it rout the edges? Can it rout all four edges and make the cut offs? I know it might be better, in some cases, to use a table saw and a router table to accomplish this but I don’t have all that yet. I would be nice if the machine could accomplish all the tasks.
Am I asking too much of the machine?
Thanks for Your Time
