I am working on my first cnc guitar body and have some concern about clearance on my z axis. The body blank is around 1.75 and that doesn’t leave much room with router placement and bit. I need some advise. Can I move the router up in the clamp...if so, how much is safe? Hope that makes sense.
I will say the you can move it up with no problems but try to keep it at the spec'd material height of the LEAD at 2". Marc made 2 guitars bodies on the LEAD and the black that was used was 2". Another option that you could explore is to remove the spoil board for this project.
To do a guitar you need to make a dual side operation so the cut high of the bit could be from 3/4" to 1" and thus you can clear both sides considering you have a 2" body
