FIRST TEST CUT

3/13/2024

I was ready to start a sheet but before I ruined my whole 4’x8′ sheet, I decided to test it on a small block. We started the contour of one piece of the sheet on a small piece of plywood. We used the 1/4 bit for the exterior contours. This is where I discovered my first mistake. As the machine was making its final run to finally cut the piece, it ended up throwing the whole ply half way across the shop since there was nothing holding it down. This is where I learned about tabs and how to add them to sheets so they are not complete free after cutting. Tabs are like what hold parts on model set part sheets.
