Hardwood parts for wooden clocks, examples: http://lisaboyer.com/Claytonsite/Claytonsite1.htm
I’m mostly using cherry and oak. Thicknesses of 1/8, 1/4, 3/8, 1/2 and 3/4. I try to group my parts in an efficient pattern on the stock I glue up and plane on my Dewalt 12.5" thickness planer. From using my digital calipers I see variances of 2-5 thousands of an inch in the material. I dont think the thickness planer is meant to do better than it is doing. I’ve watched a lot of the Winston Moy Youtube videos and bought some of the tape he mentioned people recommended having success with. It’s ok but not great for thick parts with a small surface area. If I walk away when a part is nearing completion I often have the part spin out or move in its cutout enough to hit the 1/8 end mill I mostly use. 1/4" end mill is pretty much a no go, nearly always to much wake to leave the part in place so I abandoned it as a cutter for anything small to medium sized.
I took some of my cutsheet dxf files I’ve created and used in Carbon Create and loaded them in Vcarve. The tab feature in Vcarve is awesome I have to say. So is the ability to watch a simulation of the toolpaths. I know it’s not free and so I’m not complaining about the lack of features in Carbon Create which obviously is free.
Thanks for your reply
