75 Cobain Mustang control plate cut out

Control plate cutout. First one fucked up because rpm were a bit high at 24000 rpm, causing first toolpath to pull workpiece. The second version I used more double sided tape and added tabs and lowered rpms down, actually only on notch 3 `18000 rpm. That seems like the sweetspot for the carbide router, anything higher cause way too much jitter, even with an hdz mount.

Almost done with plate have to bevel edge, could have done this with a V bit but, the top and edges wouldn’t remain non beveled and didn’t want to do a tool change because I’d have to change to 1/4″ collet and maybe lose my datum.

I’ll bevel by hand around left edge with a file, did same thing on my first version but beveled around whole thing. And janky up the right edge more.
