• Cleaning the Parts

  GOO GONE worked pretty well; as well as letting the parts swim in a small bath of Isopropyl Alcohol fro a few minutes, then scrubbing them with a really stiff brush, then rinsing them in a water bath.

• Surfacing the Spoilboard

  FYI - I had several issues exporting a fully correct Surfacing File from Vcarve. But eventually got it, just make sure to check your code before you get infront of the machine.

  Make sure to clean the endmill.

• Setup

  brucejdii • 05/19/2020 at 00:02 • 0 comments

  I used an off-cut as a strait edge to align the "Even" Bottom sides of the materials.
  

  I used shear to cut the material to size, tin snips would have worked as well.
  
  

  Use a Sanding Block on the surface of the Spoilboard after each sheet.

  The Scotch tape DID work!  But only on a clean spoilboard surface.
