Discover the "Down and Out Rule" for CNC machining an CNC woodworking—an age-old CNC machinists philosophy to streamline your CNC toolpath creation! In this video, Garrett from IDC Woodcraft shares how this practical rule simplifies material removal with a CNC router woodworking project to ensure smooth project execution.
Using a custom legacy CNC project for his niece Isabelle, Garrett demonstrates why you always want to start with “down” part of the 'Down and Out' rule, and only then do you move on to the “out” part of the rule to do the fine tune cutting to achieve flawless results.
Follow along as Garrett dives into @vectric software to explain the process step-by-step, showcasing various IDC Woodcraft router bits designed for precision and efficiency. Learn how this method enhances your workflow, preserves your tools, and makes even the most complex projects manageable.
