When I was building my full splice G-code I made a few till I got it rite. I haven't had the time to test cut them to be sure which one I liked the best. I'll post this for people to try. If it doesn't work on your CNC erase line N60. If that doesn't fix it PM me with your software information or questions.

Ok your program plungs .840 deep. Where can I purchase an endmill or what ever bit your useing that will plung this deep.
thanks
 
I noticed you do not use cutter compensation in this code (G41, G42), yet it works with 2 different diameter tools. Will the completed pieces of wood just slide further into each other if you cut with the large diameter tool compared to the small diameter tool?
 
Is this cutting the forearm or handle? How is the cue being held while doing this?

I got those bits from a local tool store.

The pattern is the same and the bit doesn't make a difference. The ends of the points will be wider. The length only changes .0156

It cuts the handle. The forearm is cut like any 4 point forearm. After you cut the handle with the CNC you'll have to cut 4 "V" groves in a handle that have the same length and angle. It's not as hard as it sounds. Once the first one fits they are all the same.


I'll cut some for pictures later today.
 
..........................

I mounted a 24" dowel in the chuck and built a jig to hold the middle so the CNC could have free access to 12" of the front.
I bored a 3/4 hole 10" long into the front. (the same length of the points). Mounted it in the lathe and cut.
Here are some quick pictures I drew. I'll cut one tonight and give better directions.

Hope this helps

I couldn't find a bit to cut deep enough so I had to bore the 3/4 hole the length of the points (before cutting the points).

This picture shown the points in relation to the 3/4 hole.

I'll cut one tonight and take pictures.

great pictures scott great idea on the bore out of the center also..lee
 
Scott, thank you for filling in the missing piece. Looks like you could make it a little long, bore the hole, mount between centers, (bull nose), make the cuts to the max depth of the bit, then cut the end when you're done.
 
If you want to mount it between centers don't bore the hole. After the CNC finishes the cuts you'll have to cut the center out with a band saw.
The CNC will cut all the way through the stock.

I'm getting one ready now and I'm trying a 5/8 bore hole instead of 3/4. I'll let you know how it works. And taking pictures.
 
You could bore the hole and then just glue a short plug back into the end for your center. Or you could glue in a plug and leave it stick out like a tenon to grab on to depending on how you have your dividing head set up. If it is a 5c head you could just grab on to the tenon that way.
 
If you hold it between centers don't bore the hole. When the CNC cuts the points it will cut the end off. The cue will have nothing to suport it.
Mount it between centers run the G-code then cut the middle on a bandsaw.
Building a jig to hold the cue works a lot better.
