Step 5Fourth step, The milling.
Fourth step the milling. Each Computer Controlled Routing machine is different so I will show you what I did.
1. I made a flat board by milling it down with the largest bit I had.. This is not really part of making the case but you need the surface flat and true for this project.
2. I used wood screws to hold down the blank. I measured this 4 or 5 times to keep my expensive bits from nicking the wood screws. Some people have edge clamps and tape to hold down there work pieces.. Do what ever works for your table.. This works for me.
3. Mark the zero point. I do this with a chisel. This will help you set up each bit when you are setting up the next step.
If you are not using a Cnc you can still make your own case with a wood chisel. A drill press and saber saw will help speed the process along make sure to check your fit often.
