Cutting Out Parts: Learning to Use the CNC Shark

[pinehillprimitives1]

Can you use this machine to carve out windsor chair seats?

@Brysey19 The user programs the machine for the finished depth needed. Based on the bit being used the tool path will automatically adjust the number of passes. It does not try to achieve the total depth in one pass. Thanks!

If you're using the end mill on a thicker material, does the machine automatically make several passes or do you have to run a bunch of passes along the same line at different depths? I'm imagining the machine boring through the whole material then snapping off my new bit the second it moves.
