I used this procedure to reduce the thickness of a piece of MDF for a cabinet door I was making with inlays. I took about 1/4 of an inch on one side, did the recess of the inlay design and left it on my CNC overnight. The next morning, when I took it out, the piece of MDF was so warped, it looked like banana. The only explanation I could come up with is that the MDF had absorbed a lot of moisture from a hot and humid South Florida garage, while the backside was laying flat on the CNC bed and had the factory coating. Moisture came in from one side and not the other. I have flattened many boards for signs using this procedure. Works well.

I use this process for flattening end-grain cutting boards after gluing. Presumably not as efficient as drum sanding, but it doesn't require such efficient dust collection either.

A raster area cleararance would be much better for the McFly Cutter then you can run off the side edges so there is no slow down corner burning

when setting x,y and z on a piece of stock like this thats all wonky, correct me if im wrong but you cant use the bit setter or the bitzero and have to do it manually correct?
@carbide3d

You can always use bitsetter. BitZero is not as handy given that you want to exceed the size of your stock in X and Y. Additionally, the low point of your stock may not be on a corner nor large enough to set your BitZero into to get an accurate reading. Manual Z setting is the best plan.

Well John, we do take a significant number of parts on and off of our machine. Consequently, the amount of time it spends “trammed” is very small.

It depends on the shank size and the power of your spindle.

A 1/2” shank does not fit in the 65mm spindle. That spindle has a 1/4” limit. If you want to run 1/2” tooling you’ll need the 80mm water cooler spindle.

You can certainly choose not to use it! We opted to use the CNC over the planer on our next build.
