Hi all, I’m new here and hope to get some advice please.

I run a 5x10 Phantom Reaper CNC mill with a vacuum table. We are having issues with our spoil board preparation process. We use three-quarter inch MDF. Our process has been the following:

1. Surface the old board and keep it attached.

2. Put the new piece on. Fly cut the backside to reveal the porous layer.

3. Flip it, cut the bolt holes. Remove the old spoil board, bolt down the new one and surface the top side.

This method has given us inconsistent results. The MDF tends to warp when we are cutting the first side.

I would greatly appreciate anything the would share their best practice for doing their spoil board?

Thanks

Hi all,

I am still fairly new to Fusion and have been making progress overall but am stuck with something that was discussed in this post on the AutoDesk forum. I was able to create a test file (uploaded for reference) and follow the directions as described. The issue I have is that I am using the Lamello Cabineo 8 M6 which has a metal insert installed in the mating piece which requires an 8 mm dia. x 15.3 mm deep hole. When I insert>Combine Cut I do the horizontal piece first, then repeat it on the vertical to get teh insert hole. The issue is the hole is the cabineo screw size and not the hole size I need for teh insert outside diameter.

I have wo questions:

1. Is this the correct process to get both the insert and cabineo connector pockets? If not, is ther a better way.
2. What would you suggest to get the correct diameter hole for the insert? I usually use a lot of them and want to be as efficient as possible. The tolerance to line the two parts up is very close.

Here is the link to the reference files - Post Resources

Thanks in advance!
