![]() ![]() ![]() Also pretty much infinitely variable size. It works in an almost identical way to the contraption in the video and took about an hour to make. It cost zero because I made it from scrap bits. Using a big 25mm bit it is quite effective. I just rest the jig on top and move slowly down the slab. I made a U shaped "trough " from plywood, the width of my router, the sides are about 100mm high which keeps it nice and flat, it has a slot for the bit to plunge through then put the board or slab to be flattened on the floor.Įither side of the slab I get 2 paralell bits of wood which I have thicknessed so they are smooth. I don't have enough experience to know if, for example, stock often comes in 6 foot lengths, and I'm often going to end up wasting 6 inches to get it into my 5'6" table. ![]() My plan is to be able to chuck large bits on, whizz over them as quick as possible, then cut them into smaller chunks for CNC cutting once I can see what's what.īut the 6 foot question is still valid. Rather than flattening it on the machine (slow, and the work area is not huge) and then finding out that, if I'd made the cut 20mm to the right, I could have utilised the grain so much better. That way I can get a proper look at it, and lay out the CNC tool paths according to the grain. The reality, however.īut, there's another aspect - I can do this at the moment on the CNC machine, but what I'm looking for is a quick, thoughtless roughing job to normalise the timber before I CNC cut it. If I could handle a plane with even a quarter of the manual skill that I see in others then your comment would be valid. I can manipulate a spray gun, and I can plaster a wall.īeyond that, I'm a machinist. ![]()
