CNC Needle Cutter for Depron Foam Board RC Airplanes



#CncNeedleCutter #ParkJets #openbuildscam
In this video, I show how I adapted my OX CNC router to use a needle cutter. It uses 3d printed parts and simple hardware to make a machine that I think is as good as a laser cutter. For a lot less money.
It’s based on the good work of guys like EdwardRC

and David Johnson

The video doesn’t cover creating the DXF files from the PDF plans I use. See my video here on the process https://youtu.be/Mvc5lJ6vF3s

Please note I will not share the DXF files out of respect to the PDF plan designers. I purchased the plan from RCPowers many years ago. These are still available here https://www.rcpowers.com/
