Thanks for the video. I always enjoy them and get some great ideas from you. For the pockets - I usually run 2 toolpaths - the first at a wider stepover, down to .02" shy of my max depth. Then a "finishing" second toolpath with a narrow stepover, .02" -> final depth. This makes most of the pocket carve fast, but also gives the fine finish to reduce/eliminate sanding. Kind of the best of both worlds.
I just found your site and I'm really enjoying your videos. I really appreciate how you take the time to post these awesome videos. Keep up the great work!!
You're a good dude Hamilton. Be well and I hope life doesn't throw any curveballs your way (or friends and family way). Thanks for the wonderful content I always learn something-very much appreciated!
You can always carve out the tray with a higher step over, then come back and do one pass at full depth with a lower stepover (~8% and it won’t leave any ridges at all)
Thanks for sharing the small round over bit as well...ordered one just now. I have wondered the same thing about running a round over on the cnc, but with the right bit, it's honestly faster to just do it by hand. By the time you go over, change the bit, reset your depth, run the job, you could have just done it by hand with possibly better results.

I like the way the pine worked when you twisted it, it was almost like it locked, off coarse it would probably wear after awhile.
I love the mini bit. I have that set lol I love them

This would be a great template for making D&D gaming trays.
I had a Wonderful time watching your video. Thank you Hamilton
What a mane! This gave me ideas for an office desk organiser.
great ideas. thanks.
Reminds me of Gridfinity, which I'm planning to make out of wood at some point. It's just pockets and 90° V bit.
Great job Hamilton and a great idea
Fun stuff Hamilton! Thanks for sharing
Great job Hamilton.
I want this machine so bad 😂😂 I'm still working like a peasant on my S3 Standard 😭😭
