I just ruined a nice piece of oak.
A friend wants a nice sign. I have it designed and tested on mdf. But when i went to oak it all went to HELL! Now I am having 2nd thoughts if this stuff is for me. At the end, i saw horrible chatter. I cleaned up and tried to shake it all off, and then see what happened. It seems all my bolts were loose enough to allow alot of flex (mpcnc) and it let alot of chatter happen on hardwood. Mdf heck no, cut awesome! I have it all tightened up now and really question if i want to continue my cnc adventure. I have had my cnc for a very long time and done some nice things with it, but as i was cleaning i also noticed how much wood i went through in testing for those nice things!!!
Just my rant, kinda feeling overwhelmed right now!
Oh bolts were never double checked after recently reprinting core and bearing brackets!!!
