Progress

• word graphic designed such that the inner and outer radius should be big enough for router bit
• Font for inside and outside CNCing in inkscape
• export as .eps (for consistency)
• imported to PartWorks 3.0
• cut on 3-axis ShopBot

Problems

fit is too tight

• height of t is tenon: 14.75mm; mortise: 14.6mm; diff: 0.15mm
• 'avg diff: 0.175mm
• is the bit 1.4125 instead of the 1.5875mm it should be?

• test cut single line with 1/16 bit and measure what it really isTemplate:TD Possum Lodge
• re-test cut the lettering with bit size set to 1.4125mm
