This project is awesome! Did you use a ballnose endmill to create the textures or was it square?

Thanks! I used a ballnose endmill to create the texture effect made possible by a chunky stepover. A light pass with some 80 grit sandpaper over the ridges knocks down any "sharp" edges.

Nice project, I've made something similar. That looks like a large ball nose mill, what size was it? CutRocket doesn't currently include that information, showing "generic cutter" for a lot of stuff that isn't a preset tool.

Thanks for asking! I should have included that info... It's a 3/4" ballnose bit (1/4" shank). I actually just used a cheap one (not carbide tipped) from a local hardware store.

Cool. I'm reticent to buy anything but carbide at the moment, but I really should just buy a cheap router bit set from my local timber merchant. They're pretty reasonably priced in a nice case, so what's the harm?

Awesome Project! In a bit of a time crunch for Father's Day, I picked up a cutting board from Ikea and ran this tool path. I changed the tool to the standard issue 1/4 end mill that came with my Shapeoko3. An additional box around the outside with a radius on the corners allowed for all cuts to be made on the cnc. Thanks again for posting this project!

Hi! I'm new to learning CNC. Still having trouble identifying bit #'s in your project. Can you tell me what the bits are in the project by name? Thank you!
