The cut will start in the air, get deeper into the cut as it passes the bulge

Maybe can work REVO into some of the designs.

Yes a template would be the best way to do what you are thinking about for the 
bulged checkering. If you are going to go through all this troubles to make 
this, You might as well start figuring out a better way to keep the pressure on 
the spindle when cutting form the side. Perhaps a counter balance weight like I 
use with my 200 ? this would let you keep a constant contact with the spindle 
while cutting from the side with out having you push or pull the Carriage's/Y 
axis while turning.
Last question, you are using a motor drive to run your machine while cutting? 
Doing all that turning of the crank handle would drive anyone crazy! ;-)
Have a great day.

Re: Checkering today

2023-11-01 Thread cdkr...@gmail.com 
Mornin' Curt.  The cuts were unidirectional and the router turned off for 
the backstroke through the fresh cut, no other changes. Except for 
moving the index pin the sync was not broken at any time until the 
cross cut setup required changing the reverse gear. Once the RH 
cuts were done, then it really didn't matter if the LH cuts started in 
the same spot.  I did try to line the first cross cut to a previous start, 
but it wasn't critical. 

I'll be trying this out on various shapes, the first being a checkered 
"bulge"
handle where the cuts run into and out of the bulge from above the rest
of the work. To keep the cuts from too much depth in the middle the 
bulge will be fairly shallow.

>From there I suppose the next challenge will be a template following setup.
Is there an end to all this?  LOL There's Christmas work to do! I suppose
checkered handles could make stocking stuffers?

All the encouragement and helpful comments are much appreciated. 
Thank you all.

 Here's the work so far.  The taper is just a hair over 2° and I wondered
 how much that would affect the spacing at the small end.  I probably
 won't see it until touching up.  You can see the tilt of the spindle 
 rails
 that put the cutting surface parallel to the main frame.  I'm going to
 try one with a slightly increased taper and let the checkering fade
 into nothingness

 And the chart update.
