Materials

3mm depth lumber (sized sufficiently above 450 x 115 to support origin without risk of tipping). Make sure your lumber is flat.

I used resawn/planed hard maple.

Tools

6mm up-spiral bit

3mm up-spiral bit

Instructions

1. Secure your flat board to a sacrificial base with tape; 2. Set up your shaper tape then do scan/grid (its ok if your piece is above the plane of the shaper tape, or use some shims to get coplanar ); 3. Import cut file and place as desired within your grid; 4. Fit 3mm bit and helix cut holes (check your board thickness and adjust cut depth accordingly); 5. Swap to 6mm bit and do outside cut. If your piece is well fixed with tape then you can first pass with say a 1mm offset if you want and then do a finish pass. Personally I did not bother with offset and instead did a quick sanding. 6. Fit insert plate and use copper shims as needed to fine adjust. ** Note you should also check to see if your machine needs a 3mm thick plate as this might vary by small amounts.
