Here is a full size electric guitar we made using ProDesktop, QuickCAM PRO and a Denford router:





If anyone has some spare parts (free ) , it would be great to be able to build it up and try it out

Hello

Hi,

I used a 1/2" carbide counter top cutter that was 2" long for all the roughing then finished with an extra long 1/4" ball nose cutter.

Hi

can a counter top cutter also be described as an end mill. If not can you tell me what one is and how much they are.

Hi

Having lots of fun trying to make a guitar
but what do you think an appropriate feed for the 1/2" two flute cutter should be cutting through hardwood & MDF?

Also how long did it take for your guitar to be machined?

Hi.

I cut the Guitar out of Sepilia a brazillian hardwood. With the big cutter you can hog out the material. I was cutting 10-12 mm deep in one pass at about 3M / Min.

Typically you can cut a depth = to the cutter width in one pass in Hardwood. With MDF you may want to cut about 75% of the cutter width.

post some photos when you are done

It took about 30 mins a side to machine.
