Hi everyone! I completed a new project, and I heavily relied on the Avid CNC to do a lot of the cutting. I decided to use it to cut out the basic rectangle shapes too…something I normally would have done on the tablesaw.
The build video:
It’s mostly cherry, with some maple accents.
A few photos of the finished piece:
Thanks @corbin.
Another stunning project beautifully presented. Nice save with the wrong hole, making it more beautiful. Very enjoyable video.
Cheers,
Mike
Beautiful piece and design! Although I think James Krenov is screaming at you from his grave for not doing it all on the bandsaw. 
I must admit I’ve had similar thoughts about just using the CNC to make “rip” cuts, but in the end I think it would add a LOT Of time to the procedure (CAD, CAM, setup, and even the actual cut). Great way to ensure square though, I’ve been doing it for all the cabinet plywood parts, no more messing with parallel guides on the track saw!
Here is the medicine cabinet I made earlier this year. Mostly done on the table saw/domino, but I did use the AvidCNC to cut the shelf pin holes and euro hinge pockets (and yes, the pilots for the screw holes too).
Yeah, doing straight cuts is definitely a bit wasteful on the CNC: 1/4" for the bit, and around 1/4" for a hold down on the edge, means you lose around 1/2". Ripping on the tablesaw can have a lot less losses!
Your cabinet looks great too! I like the color combo; is it all oak? Fumed or stained mixed with non-fumed?

Only the panels are QS White Oak, stained. Rest is Knotty Alder with stain or no stain (my came in before I got the frames stained and decided she liked the contrast).
Hoping to try fuming on my next A&C project (beds & dressers)
Nice - I did my last kitchen out of Alder!
I know it’s different but I use the CNC to cut out all of the wood for my outdoor furniture when I’m doing that I placed the pieces on the material line them up almost all the way to the edge and I use quarter inch by three-quarter inch tabs and I do that in the flat area so it’s easy to remove and have little to no waist other than what can’t be used. I know when the hardwood series It’s difficult to match grain that way and I would have to look more deeply into it but I’ve stated to Corbin before I use the CNC for just about all of my parts when I’m cutting out anything for my furniture work.
I forgot to add I use vetric software And when I’m making the cut profiles, I line up the tabs so that they match on adjoining pieces and I only lose out the quarter inch between the pieces which is what you Would lose cutting them out with 1/8 inch tablesaw blade anyway. That’s just my two cents
