And so I receive a phone call to say that the first half of the CNC cut materials are ready to be picked up. However there were some problems with a handful of pieces.
Two of the large circular pieces were cut incorrectly, damaged and needed to be re cut…. meaning that I would need to purchase more material… at a hefty cost of $274 for the sheet (He offered to cut them for free) The two pieces that were damaged happened to be two of the face boards for the cabinets… Seeing as i was unable to get the same Laminex coated marine ply (as I got it for cheap of our masters student) I had to buy ordinary hoop marine ply, i decided to get the three front panels all recut so that they would all match when constructed.
The reason they were cut incorrectly was because I tried to cut too many pieces out of the limited material I had (obviously to keep it as cheap as possible) when the pieces were cut though, the ply sheet they were being cut out of lost its rigidity and the cutting bit began to wander… as shown in the pictures.
The top is not straight!
They cut this one a little wrong...
Although It’s unfortunate that there were two pieces cut incorrectly, the problem was solved within 24 hours with all pieces collected and ready to be worked on in preparation for construction.
Components CNC cut and ready for further work...
Although, it turns out the CNC cut holes are too small
problems continue…
