Preparation

Leveling sacrifice wood(面だし)

To get flat surface on sacrifice wood, you first need to slightly shave the top of the wood.

  1. Detach materials on sacrifice wood.
    Pour solvent in, use scraber to peal the board off. enter image description here

  2. Change bit to 6mm shank diamiter collet
    Use two pliers to loosen collet.

  3. Set 6mm bit to the collet
    Use hex wrench. enter image description here

  4. Make test cut data
    Major the size of the sacrifice wood and make test cut 3D data with the size can cover the wood (leveling.stl).

    Done!!! enter image description here

Try out test pattern

With the bottom row see how thin the line can go, and with the row above check how close the each line can be.
The lines in the bottom row starts from 0.50mm and get thinner in 0.02mm step till finally gets to 0.10mm.
The upper row follows the same dimension but with the gap between lines not thickness.

The result

enter image description here
For the line thickness, 0.22mm was the minimum thickness that our milling machine (with best condition) can mill.
0.4mm was the minimum for the gap between lines. (as the diameter of the bit used was 1/64 inch = 0.396875mm)
