1/4 inch cnc bits

Out of curiousity, with those settings and assuming you can pretty efficiently use nearly the entire sheet to cut out parts, how long does it take to process a sheet?

Like, are you just babysitting the machine for hours at a time? Weeks of cutting and stacking parts before you have what you need to build a small structure?

Not a criticism just genuinely curious about the time tradeoffs with large scale projects — am I correct in assuming that assembly becomes dramatically faster/easier, but planning/designing and cutting can be quite time consuming?

It beats explaining to your insurance adjuster why your house burnt to the ground because you weren’t watching your CNC catch fire… :wink:

Yeah, you are correct. Planning, design and cutting is slow.

I think it was 2 - 3 hours per sheet, about 20 sheets? I would do two sheets a day. I was able to work on my computer and watch the cutting at same time so it wasn’t time completely lost.

But then the assembly was about 4 hours. If I had to build something offsite or remote – this is also a really attractive model.
