Cottage Country Sienci: Crafting a Paddle using the Tiling Technique on the LongMill MK2 CNC

That’s a paddlin’! In this episode of Cottage Country Sienci we’ll go more in-depth to show the ins and the outs of tiling and two sided carves. By the time you’re done you’ll know how to create, carve and customize your very own paddle for paddlin’.

This is a great project Scott! Tiling is a cool feature!

[@SienciLabs]

Thanks Dana! Tiling really does open up a lot of doors! 🚪 😎

[@chrisprincing5724]

great video, thank you. I have not tiled anything yet, but this gives me ideas and i think I will make a paddle. I use VCarve and want to make wooden spoons for gifts, it would involve a flip but not tiling. Any chance you take that project on for us beginners?

[@SienciLabs]

Have you checked out this video?ruclips.net/video/RA_P_ebOkpA/видео.html 😉

Nice job but I have a couple of questions. As I understand, If the Longmill is set along a wall or in a corner of the shop, in other words, no space in the back of the cnc will it be possible to index?
Also i wonder if it is possible to do this with the cam features of Fusion or with kiri:moto?

[@SienciLabs]

Technically yes to some extent, since you can spin the part 180 degrees in the Z axis instead of moving it down linearly in the Y axis. In that way the material would stick out the front. That being said, you would be limited to 2X the Y-working area as the size of material you could cut, but I suspect that for most people that would be more than enough. I think there are ways to do it in either software, but it would take some careful designing and planning to do it manually, and I'm not sure if there is a specific wizard or tool for this method in Fusion or Kiri.

Need to use parameters and constraints. Change a shaft length parameter and everything else adjusts accordingly.

[@SienciLabs]

We'll have to check those out. We've definitely got lots to learn for Fusion still! Thanks for the tip.

[@moodefiant4279]

@@SienciLabs I use fusion for design and generate toolpaths for my longmill. If I get time, I'll see if I can parameterize the posted project file.

[@SienciLabs]

Thanks for the offer! Keep us posted.

Making lots of noises cause you don't know what you're talking about, that's a paddlin!
Jk awesome tutorial
