Popular Post difalkner Posted December 6, 2017 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 6, 2017 Since I've been making trivets lately, and have now opened our Etsy shop, I decided my son needed a trivet for his cooking. But it couldn't be just any ol' trivet. Rather, it had to be Super. After all, his bread pudding is to die for and I want to make sure he keeps bringing some over! LOL! Made of Cherry, coated in mineral oil, and cut on the CNC. Here's the mediocre video of making the Super trivet - Enjoy! David 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodenskye Posted December 7, 2017 Report Share Posted December 7, 2017 David really cool! Outside of bit changes and setup, how long did it actually take to cut? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
difalkner Posted December 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2017 Thanks, Bryan and Coop! Cutting time was about 16 minutes but I didn't push it. If I had a lot of these to do, which might happen after I post it on our Etsy shop page, I could cut it to 12 minutes or so. David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick S Posted December 7, 2017 Report Share Posted December 7, 2017 Nice, David! Aside from what you mentioned in the video about the V bit, have you tried pocketing out the interior areas rather than using an offset? I've found that those smallish parts that break loose can sometimes snap a bit. I can't wait to get Carl's S2 up and running. Nate used it to film the proximity switch retrofit video and somehow the belts and drives didn't make it back in the crate. They're supposed to be here Monday. We've been twiddling our thumbs for 3 weeks a while now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
difalkner Posted December 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2017 Thanks, Mick! Yes, thought about that and I do that sometimes. This was more a mistaken measurement on my part, though. I told Fusion 360 the part was 0.80" thick and then I surfaced it to 0.790", so the little thin section that usually holds these in place was cut all the way through. But on small pockets like the ones that became projectiles I should do an adaptive clearing instead of contour - you are absolutely correct. That would eliminate the opportunity to break a bit. Stay on Nate. He's a good guy, builds a great product, and means well but 'quick response' is not his middle name. David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fortunately Carl is more patient than I am and sees the long term benefit of staying positive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliff Posted December 13, 2017 Report Share Posted December 13, 2017 I gotta get a cnc. Great video. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
