CNC Piece – Cameron

Hello again everyone!

To start, I decided that a CNC spade piece would be the design I would make for my project. I went to nounproject.com, found a spade piece design that I liked, and downloaded the SVG file from the website.

I then imported the file into Carbide Create on my laptop to edit the design. I changed the general settings of Carbide Create so that the exact width, length, and height were taken into account for the wooden piece I was going to cut. I then arranged the file so that the spade design fit in the center of the wooden piece while also maintaining a 3 in. x 3 in. minimum measurement. I then added an offset vector to the spade design, 0.25 inches in measurement. I also added 0.1 in. x 0.1 in. nodes to the file so the piece would be secure and then added the pocket and contour cut commands.

I then sent the file to Carbide Motion, following all of the steps to cut my wood piece.

After my two spade piece were cut, I went to the back ODEK to stain both of them.
