Measure twice, cut once. I
don't use large bits like this and have to admit my heart was pounding
waiting for something to fly off. Luckily nothing did and the mount came
out great! The hardest part is tapping the holes and cleaning off the
edges. Next time I will program the machine to cut the chamfer on the
edges too. |
I am using the K2 machine with a 1/2 router bit (!!). A lot of aluminum thrown everywhere but the cut came out very clean. No problem cutting this aluminum. Here the machine is uctting the inner circle for the new router. I am tapping by hand for the screw which will pinch the mount together to hold the router. I had to cut a new plate for the mount to mount too. Here it is...ready to go. All done! It works very well !!
