Better CNC Results with Setup Blocks

We all know that plywood thicknesses can vary widely, and this makes it difficult to be sure of cutting through your stock without cutting too deep into your spoilboard. You can measure the stock in hand and adjust the program, but there is a better way.

In this video I show you how to avoid the hassle by setting the Z-Axis off of setup blocks instead of the stock to allow for cutting through a range of size variations while cutting into the spoilboard little if at all.
