What did you cut on your Shapeoko/ Nomad today?

Today is when I start remodeling my kitchen. These are good old oak cabinets that were painted over a couple of years ago, and while this now looks outdated, I’m not one to throw away good solid wood to replace it with ikea-grade cabinets. So I figured I would “just” sand everything, remodel the doors to a more modern look, reusing everything as much as I can.

A surfacing pass revealed very nice wood under the cheap paint,

And I then used a 45° vbit to mill away the old-school rounded thingies (not sure what the word is for the parts that are all around between the stile and the recessed panel)

The 45° chamfers on all edges give the door the more modern look I was after, and milling everything on the CNC produces a clean sharp door that looks as new. Success so far.

Now to do the same of the other 19 (!) doors/drawers, without messing a single time in a toolpath or zeroing or anything, since I only have one shot at this. Stressful!
