Another look at an inlay test
5 of the of 12 corner treatments I am making available to my bathroom
countertop customers. The wood counterparts, will be engraved in the legs and/or doors. Pictures of those coming soon. http://i123.photobucket.com/albums/o...nlaystests.jpg (and yes, the bottom-left corner has a layer-merge error. The medallion should be on top. That's how you learn, eh?) |

If so, how do you position a big, heavy countertop accurately for these cuts? |

G I assume that you are using your CNC router for this. *If so, how do you position a big, heavy countertop accurately for these cuts? The CNC's travel will handle a piece 50" x 100". When the table's spoil-board is leveled by the router-spindle itself, the boundaries (The X,Y ) are established. Repeatability is .004 over the whole area. As far as big and heavy is concerned..I eat a lot of Wheaties. I slide the slab onto the table from the open end, stick on some big honking suction cups (really) and I have my way with any slab. My CNC is not set up to deal with granite or quartz. I only machine dry. |

The first is to attach a fence to the table (I have one that runs along the x-axis or long edge of the table) and use the router to machine a true face for work to bear against. The second (if the router control is set up to allow it) is to use a device like the one at http://www.iedu.com/DeSoto/SuperZero/ to accurately locate a reference corner of the workpiece. For large workpieces, I use a combination of both methods. -- Morris Dovey DeSoto Solar DeSoto, Iowa USA http://www.iedu.com/DeSoto/ |
