With 1 hour of 360 Fusion experience under my wings and zero knowledge about wood, router bits etc. - im looking for a few tips and suggestions on how to approach a possible cut.
The idea:
- The circular shape is 40mm
- Front "pocket" depth 4-5mm (not sure if it's called a pocket)
- Thickness on the circular "stroke" 2-3mm
Not sure how to describe the details on "back", but as you can see the back side has some kind of inline "bevel" - the small holes > ignore them.
I know perhaps not all details are do'able with CNC, and there's naturally also some concerns on how thin the wood can actually be cut without breaking a part, so guess there's a lot of variables, trial and error etc.
So guess just looking for some friendly advice on (anything here), but could be:
1. Router bit > Would there be any router bit better than other for small very thin cuts like this?
2. Wood type > Any specific wood that would be good for testing cuts close to the above?
3. Design > I'm looking to use 360 Fusion to build the design -> any helpful tips, guidance or buzzwords on how to approach this? I'm thinking it's atleast a two step operation. Building an operation for first the front side cut and afterwards the backside.
