Hello Gents,
I have racked my mind on how to cut a square slot in the center of a 127mm x 127mm square piece of wood.
I am trying to make some piggy banks for the holiday season and needed to cut this slot in the base so that the coins may be removed once the bank is reasonably full. I am trying to cut a slot about 40mm x 40mm but was wondering about the best way to do it.
I was leaning towards using the MFS 400 with my 1400 and a straight cut bit; but was having trouble keeping the thing steady over such a small piece. I was using supporting material to keep the thing steady but then I wasn't able to batch the process out as I was making about 5 of those.
I would appreciate if you could please take the time to direct me to the best way to batch the process out.
Best Regards,
