Step-by-step milling spoiler board for SO5 Pro 2x2 with CC

[pwhutch (Paul W Hutchins)]

Brand new here. Just set up my SO5 Pro 2x2 and need help with detailed instructions to mill my spoiler board using CC. What settings in CC? What endmill? What depth? Thanks!

I like to do only 1 slat at a time.

I’m new to CNC’s and just getting my feet wet. I cut a couple of items already and thought I was getting the hang of it, until I tried surfacing my machine. I created a file to surface the machine 1mm and it ended up 4mm off. I don’t understand why that happened, and so I stopped the machine after a few seconds and edited the file in carbide create to remove 0.5mm. I ran it again and it continued to take off the same amount as before, so I just let it run since it would have left a hole in the c…

and set the cut depth to a single depth per pass with the tool in question, then I cover the slat with pencil marks and run the single file until all marks are removed, jogging down and resetting zero for each pass as needed.

There is a 4x2 flattening file at:

which should be easy to adapt.
