Making MDF Shaker Style Doors on CNC

Cutting simulated MDF Shaker Style Doors on the Stepcraft Q.408 CNC machine using the AMS-262 all linked below. To clear the majority of the waste I used the RC-2254 1-1/4" diameter insert carbide surfacing bit.

Nice to see that some people know the difference between shaker style and craftsman style 👍

Looking forward to seeing them painted!

I got the 1/4” shank set. Absolutely love it!!

[southernyankeewoodworks]

Great idea to kit these tools! Great marketing idea.

[rudifroese]

what kind of mdf sheets do you use or is it hdf and how do you go about painting them

[theslawek]

Thanks for the video. Do you have to do a secondary pass on the back side to make room for the hander hardware?

Fun Fact: MDF dust is the devil’s dandruff.

What spindle do you on your stepcraft?

[bwxfyrm]

How long did it take to do the 12 shaker doors?? The cutting process that is

[TheAsliNeel]

What kind of bit did you use for cutting?

[norbgs]

Curious how you going to treat the MDF to avoid fuzz. Keep the videos coming!

[Motivation_One]

How long does it take to finish whole sheet pls

[cyifnuk]

are these doors durable after you seal and paint them? I have a 30x30 CNC, so I would be carving doors while building the cabinet, I want to use MDF but I want them to be able to hold up over time, the finish would be unmatched if I go this route

What is the model of this machine, I have tried to search for it on the toolstoday page
