I've tried to improve on cam strategies for machining guitar bodies. Now I am using different tools to get the machining time down to about 30 minutes per side, including a long shaping process.
Also I go into detail on how I setup each strategy in Fusion360 and how I exported the files to my CNC machine.
You will also see the actual machining of it on my DIY CNC machine as well as you will see the endresult.
I hope this is helpful to you!
If you have any questions or tips to improve on, I'll be glad to hear from you!
