Modified the control plate cut , enlarging slightly and rounding off corners radius to .26 for my quarter inch downcut bit. Going to run 2 toolpaths instead of one so that datum is more accurate. The image isn’t straight on.

Export settings in Illustrator to Carbide3d. Set datum points as the screw locations and Made work area square so that center datum is precisely on screw hole in the center. Adding squares to corners, kind of ensures that Carbide Create will not distort the toolpath and make scaled cuts. Want to be as precise as possible.

Removed grounding plates/ bridge on mustang for machining. Lining up guitar body by using a straight edge perpendicular from cnc rail and either a straight fret or bridge line. Tried to be as perpendicular as possible. Used to clamps on bottom and a piece of wood flush with top of neck pocket. Used tiger clamps to secure. Seemed pretty secure. Hoping the rockler clamps will not move during cut.
