Cutting Perfect Lego Cart Wheels with CNC – No Tabs Needed!

Today, we’re taking precision woodworking to the next level by cutting out wheels for a custom Lego cart using a CNC machine. In this video, I’ll walk you through the entire process, step by step, including one of my favorite techniques for holding the workpiece securely in place without using tabs—the blue tape and super glue method.

We’ll start by applying blue tape to both the workpiece and the CNC wasteboard, then use super glue and an activator to create a strong bond. This method eliminates the need for tabs, which can often distort the edges of your cut pieces. The result? Perfectly round, clean-cut wheels every time.

I’ll also show you how I use a remote control to set my zero points on the CNC, making the setup process faster and more convenient. You’ll get a close-up look at one of the finished wheels, complete with a recessed hole for a carriage bolt that fits snugly and is hidden from view for a sleek, polished look.
