π² Design and carve a classic Chinese Checkerboard with your CNC machine! This lesson, requested by a student, guides you through creating a custom game board, from its hexagonal outline to the intricate pattern of holes. Learn to use draw polygon, offset, draw circle, and array copy (both linear and circular) for precise hole placement. Discover how to apply drilling toolpaths for the peg/marble holes, and v-carve toolpaths for decorative elements like a central star. Kyle also covers pocket and profile toolpaths, optimizing tool database settings for various bits (end mills, v-bits), and adding ramp plunges. Explore material choices (plywood, MDF) and techniques for customizing board size and edge finishes.
