Hi all!
I began experimenting with some deep wood inlays with the ultimate goal of making a large bowl. These are 1"+ deep inlays glued up to make the bowl shape. I go over a lot of the problems I encountered in the video on the build:

I’m pretty happy with how it turned out, but it involved several weeks of testing. Here’s a few photos of the finished piece:

That came out great! I have a question about atc, can the spindle warmup routine in mach4 be edited? Cnc depot rm40 requires quite a few speeds and times for its warm up. I was looking for a way to automate this.

Thanks! Yeah, you can edit the warm up speeds and times. There’s a JSON file you edit…I’ll dig it up shortly.

Alright! In the Mach4 directory, go to Modules\AvidCNC\Config and edit Spindle.json – just choose the spindle you selected (I selected the 7 HP one) and modify the values. They are a percentage of the max speed set right above. It should be pretty easy to see the pattern an edit it, but if you have trouble let me know!

The bowl is awesome! What a pile of work though. Not something I’ll attempt. But thanks for the video showing some great techniques. Keep it up if you can.

Yeah! I was pretty ready to quit on it a few times… I kept cracking wood pieces and was questions what the heck I was doing.
