Y The infamous brush

Since many of you enjoyed reading my note to James about the brush I damaged, here’s what the rest of it looked like:

Y Finish?

Hillary Asked:
“Do we have to apply finish to our plywood cnc objects?”

You are not required to apply finish to your objects, but we would like to consider these as “finished” works, since there were several rounds of studies, models, mock-ups, etc. We expect that they are finessed beyond what came directly off the machine – this might require sanding some edges smooth, taking the surfaces to a higher grit, etc. Rubbing on a coat or two of wax might be enough to to take them to the next level. We will evaluate them for their integrity as objects, but it is not necessary that they have elaborate finish work (although we welcome it if you are interested).

( Watch Videos Faster (or slower)

The recent videos I posted are not sped up like some of the others I have posted are. You can get a browser extension that will let you speed up (or slow down) the videos as you like.

Chrome:
Playback speed for embedded vimeo
Playback Rate

FireFox:
Faster Video

I’m sure there are similar options for Safari, but I can’t seem to find a free one.

( Default Settings in MasterCAM (updated)

This video shows how to configure default settings in MasterCAM. This makes it so you don’t need to choose settings each time you work on a new project.

Here are the recommended settings for the toolpaths we have covered so far. Keep in mind that some of the settings will need to change depending on the needs of the project, the material you are cutting and the tool being used.
