🎸 Continue your CNC guitar-building journey with Part 2 of this detailed lesson! Kyle focuses on creating contoured edges for the electric guitar body and machining the neck pocket. Learn how to apply chamfer and molding toolpaths to achieve smooth, custom edges, and understand the differences between using V-bits and ball nose bits for various contours. The lesson also covers importing 3D models and 2D vectors for the guitar neck, aligning components, and preparing the file for double-sided machining. Discover how to create precise pockets for the truss rod channel and string ferrules, and gain insights into optimizing toolpaths for efficient and accurate cuts on complex shapes.
