For more than 20 years, Ralph Bagnall has programmed, operated, serviced CNC Machines and trained woodworkers to use their CNCs.
Now you can Build Your CNC Skills with Ralph’s new book: “Beginner’s Guide to CNC Machining in Wood” from Fox Chapel Publishing.
On this page, he'll share tips and tricks to get more from your machine as well as programming tips and advice using VCarve Pro.
Even if you own a different brand CNC, much of the info here will prove useful.
A properly designed spoil board not only protects the factory table of your CNC when you need to cut through a part, but can be surfaced to present a work surface that is exactly parallel to the plane of the head. In this video, we show you how to make one with built-in T-Slots for clamping quickly and easily.
