I made a bunch of base a door top molding for a job and ran short. On the original batch I had the step over set at .02 and didn't want to sand the piece that I was short so I set the step over to .01. That works wonderfull no sanding to speak of and it doesn't take that much loneger. Well worth the machine time if you ask me.
The design has 2 sharp angle details in it that the only way I could get that ( in the first run) was to have the end mill profile the entire piece. Both roundover bit and endmill set to .005 left.
This last (upps I'm short) piece I ran, I changed the amount of the 1/4\" roundover to \"0\" left and then the 1/4 endmill to \".005 left. The endmill just ran in the areas that it needed to make the detail not the whole profile.
Did I really just learn something? If so COOL!!!
Hope this makes sense.
I'm wondering if I figure it out by mistake
