• Just another word of advice. If you're doing this CNC and relying on the thickness of purchased stock for your measurements (for grooves, for example), be careful. The MDF and ply will almost certainly be different thicknesses.

  • Do you mean because of tolerance, or because of stock thicknesses being different? Both come in 18mm but I understand I'll need to do a little refining of tolerances in prototyping. Luckily the Valchromat will be used for most of the tenons and has a higher tollerance.

    @pryally that looks awesome, I like those dowels as a feature actually.

  • Yeah more what pryally said. The 18mm is just a nominal dimension. You'll find it varies between 17 and 19 (or thereabouts) between batches. So cutting a groove might work with your MDF prototype but that may then be loose when you build it with ply, for example.
