Thank you for the kind words Swinly and ApexWoodworks!
I guess I did jump right in with my first project, but it was a great way to see just how far I could take things off the top. I still have some learning to do, but I’m happy with the foundation (both the torsion box, and my introduction to the machine and CNC) it gave me.
I had been using Fusion 360 to lay out a plan for our new kitchen - since I was already (somewhat) familiar with it, I decided to take it deeper. I had already used SketchUp extensively, but moved on from it when they changed the licensing.
I know I have been doing some things the wrong way (as I get deeper into its functionality, and learn more about how to use it, I see the easier and better ways to use it) but it has managed to do the job so far. I wouldn’t say I’m completely familiar with CAD, more that I’m stubborn and familiar with software.
To some extent, I also thought that a great way to learn was to dive right in… definitely was the case for me, when it comes to setups, work holding, repeatability, tiling, and mating parts.
Pictured below is the set of toolpaths for one top piece, both tiles shown. I have pictures of the actual cutting as well, but I can only post one image per message.
