I generated my tool paths in Makercam. Watch the video below for instructions. You can also use other cam software.
The 12×12 Sheet of bamboo is too large to fit in my Shapeoko set up. I cut mine in half with a bandsaw. You could also use a hand saw. If your cnc can hold a 12 × 12 in sheet, please move on to the next step.
My Shapeoko set up uses the “hold down table” project. You can also screw the material into the waste board with wood screws.
Jog or manually bring the spindle to the appropriate origin point. The file is set up with the origin in the lower left corner of your material.
I used Universal G code sender. There are several free g code programs recommended at shapeoko.com/forum. Once your Shapeoko is connected, zero your axis and upload the file. your file should be ready to run!
I used an 1/8 in chisel and rubber mallet, to knock the tabs off of my piece. Then I lightly sanded it with 220 sand paper.
