EP. 30 Onefinity CNC - Tiling a Life Sized Operation Cornhole Board

Did you know EVERY Onefinity CNC can cut material bigger than the cutting area of the machine? That's right! It's called tiling, and, because of the open-ended design of all Onefinity CNC machines in the Y axis, you can cut longer material than your cutting area! Most major CAD software (like ‪@vectric‬ and ‪@Carveco‬ design software we sell) includes this feature for free!

In this episode, Morgan shows us how he cut a full 4’x8’ sheet of plywood on a Onefinity Foreman (4'x4' cutting area), by tiling the toolpaths in ‪@vectric‬ Vcarve This process allows you to cut designs larger than , and on material larger than your CNC's fixed cutting area.

By feeding the material through the Y axis, tiling breaks the toolpaths up into sections that fit within the machine's cutting area, and executes the operation one tile at a time. And for this project, the best and only logical way to demonstrate tiling was to cut a life-sized Operation cornhole board.

Big thanks to ‪@FierySquirrelArt‬ for "Operationifying" Morgan and ‪@TotalBoat‬ for providing the epoxy!
