I guess aim small miss small?? If I’m off, none of the stripes will line up correctly. I usually center zero with the lines from the outside edges, but double checking my work, it was off by a 32th.
Did a quick test cut for the tolerances and the puzzle fits good. Time for the flag.
lol yep, I do that from time to time. Back in a former life as a welder, I was working with this old timer fitting up a large platform. Measuring for square, I was taking too long reading the measurement and he yelled at me saying “What the heck are you doing??” Which I replied “It’s short by a 1/16th!”
The old timer yelled back “ Does your girlfriend complain that you’re a 1/16th to short!?!”
I looked at him and said it’s square…
On another note, here is a side by side comparison of a spiral down cut and an up cut bit profile.
Same file, same parameters.
The down cut does a great job with the edge profile.
