(and yes, I went through all of the over 200 boards which were in stock at my local store to find the 6 which were decently straight and left the stacks neater than they were when I arrived)
It should be feasible to change the job setup so that we clamp up three boards on effectively 10.5" wide stock and cut one box all at one go, but that’s a bit more waste stock than I can accept, so we will shorten the box a bit — the top/bottom are fine, we just have to shift the top/bottom a bit.
This file is just for .25 inch wood right. Also how do you separate such as the lid and base into separate pieces because the 16x7 file does not fit on the Shapeoko 3 which I have and not the xl?
Thank you for the response. However since I do not have a complex clamping system I loose a inch or two in the Y and X. So is it possible to separate the lid from the bottom instead of just disabling one path? Plus, what does the x1.5 mean in the last C2D?
Sure! Just delete everything you don’t need and cut only that — the slot could easily be added by just clamping the part and running a quick pass, or do it with hand tools.
and then modified a copy of the Carbide Create file using the new v5 beta arranging things so that they could be cut from a single board in a single operation (requires an XL or XXL):
