I wanted to make a video that really described all my considerations for how I designed the spoilboard. I&#8217;ve seen a lot of other designs, in particular one by Jay Bates, which are great, but quite expensive to build. He also charges $20 for his CNC file, whereas I wanted to share my Fusion 360 file for free so others could build upon the idea without having a big upfront cost. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This video took me a ton of time to make. I&#8217;m not talking about the time I spent filming while making the spoil board, but the post-production time. First I went back to my original design and modified it to make it a little easier to make and more generic. My CNC table isn&#8217;t a full 8&#8242; long, and I wanted something that was based on a full 8&#8242; by 4&#8242; sheet of MDF. Editing the Fusion 360 file took me quite a few hours. I then went back to my shop and filmed me talking a ton about everything I did, and this took a full day to do. Editing all the footage took another two days. And then all the time to upload everything and fill out descriptions and text. I like sharing information, so I hope people appreciate all the effort I put into some of my videos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can download the Fusion 360 CAD file at Corbin&#8217;s Workshop: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.corbinsworkshop.com\/shop\/digital-file-cnc-spoilboard-cad-file-for-fusion-360\/\">Avid CNC Spoilboard CAD File in Fusion 360<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.corbinstreehouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/avid-cnc-spoilboard-in-fusion-2.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"636\" src=\"https:\/\/www.corbinstreehouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/avid-cnc-spoilboard-in-fusion-2-1024x636.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7916\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.corbinstreehouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/avid-cnc-spoilboard-in-fusion-2-1024x636.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.corbinstreehouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/avid-cnc-spoilboard-in-fusion-2-300x186.png 300w, https:\/\/www.corbinstreehouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/avid-cnc-spoilboard-in-fusion-2-768x477.png 768w, https:\/\/www.corbinstreehouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/avid-cnc-spoilboard-in-fusion-2-1536x954.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.corbinstreehouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/avid-cnc-spoilboard-in-fusion-2-2048x1272.png 2048w, https:\/\/www.corbinstreehouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/avid-cnc-spoilboard-in-fusion-2-380x236.png 380w, https:\/\/www.corbinstreehouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/avid-cnc-spoilboard-in-fusion-2-1320x820.png 1320w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I talk a  lot about my design decisions in the video, but I&#8217;ll recap a few here for those who would rather quickly read something instead of watching a long video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I wanted the design to use as few sheets of MDF as possible. Every sheet of MDF limits the height under the gantry for projects, and I want to cut big things. I sometimes use a mini-spoil board to machine my salad bowls, and I&#8217;m really close to maxing out the 8&#8243; gantry when doing a 5&#8243; tall bowl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another goal was to keep the cost down. A lot of people use double t-tracks, which are really expensive. They allow you to bolt down the bottom of the t-track and prevent absolutely any pull out from happening. I did some tests, and I didn&#8217;t think this was necessary if you overlap the top sheet of MDF over the t-track. So, I can use a cheaper t-track and save a lot in the overall cost. Some people even omit the t-tracks entirely, as the MDF is strong enough to not pull out. I purchased <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/40DxRCp\">ZokMok t-tracks<\/a> from Amazon, for about $10.50 per 4&#8242; section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One great thing that Jay did was 20mm dog holes. I did a similar layout, based on a 5&#8243; and 10&#8243; spacing. I did manage to find some cheaper dogs from <a href=\"https:\/\/precisiondogs.us\/products\/precision-bench-dogs?variant=15569318740017\">Precision Dogs<\/a>. The quality seems great. There really isn&#8217;t much to get wrong about a dog, especially if you churning them out on a CNC metal lathe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-tiled-gallery aligncenter is-style-rectangular\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__gallery\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__row\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:66.78720%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.corbinstreehouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/CNC-Spoilboard-DSC01332-1024x684.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=600&#038;ssl=1 600w,https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.corbinstreehouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/CNC-Spoilboard-DSC01332-1024x684.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=900&#038;ssl=1 900w,https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.corbinstreehouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/CNC-Spoilboard-DSC01332-1024x684.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=1200&#038;ssl=1 1200w,https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.corbinstreehouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/CNC-Spoilboard-DSC01332-1024x684.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=1500&#038;ssl=1 1500w,https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.corbinstreehouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/CNC-Spoilboard-DSC01332-1024x684.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=1800&#038;ssl=1 1800w,https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.corbinstreehouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/CNC-Spoilboard-DSC01332-1024x684.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=2000&#038;ssl=1 2000w\" alt=\"\" data-height=\"1710\" data-id=\"7919\" data-link=\"https:\/\/www.corbinstreehouse.com\/blog\/?attachment_id=7919\" data-url=\"https:\/\/www.corbinstreehouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/CNC-Spoilboard-DSC01332-1024x684.jpg\" data-width=\"2560\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.corbinstreehouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/CNC-Spoilboard-DSC01332-1024x684.jpg?ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\"\/><\/figure><\/div><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:33.21280%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/www.corbinstreehouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/CNC-Spoilboard-DSC01338-1024x684.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=600&#038;ssl=1 600w,https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/www.corbinstreehouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/CNC-Spoilboard-DSC01338-1024x684.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=900&#038;ssl=1 900w,https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/www.corbinstreehouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/CNC-Spoilboard-DSC01338-1024x684.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=1200&#038;ssl=1 1200w,https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/www.corbinstreehouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/CNC-Spoilboard-DSC01338-1024x684.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=1500&#038;ssl=1 1500w,https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/www.corbinstreehouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/CNC-Spoilboard-DSC01338-1024x684.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=1800&#038;ssl=1 1800w,https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/www.corbinstreehouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/CNC-Spoilboard-DSC01338-1024x684.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=2000&#038;ssl=1 2000w\" alt=\"\" data-height=\"1710\" data-id=\"7920\" data-link=\"https:\/\/www.corbinstreehouse.com\/blog\/?attachment_id=7920\" data-url=\"https:\/\/www.corbinstreehouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/CNC-Spoilboard-DSC01338-1024x684.jpg\" data-width=\"2560\" src=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/www.corbinstreehouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/CNC-Spoilboard-DSC01338-1024x684.jpg?ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\"\/><\/figure><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/www.corbinstreehouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/CNC-Spoilboard-DSC01334-1024x684.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=600&#038;ssl=1 600w,https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/www.corbinstreehouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/CNC-Spoilboard-DSC01334-1024x684.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=900&#038;ssl=1 900w,https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/www.corbinstreehouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/CNC-Spoilboard-DSC01334-1024x684.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=1200&#038;ssl=1 1200w,https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/www.corbinstreehouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/CNC-Spoilboard-DSC01334-1024x684.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=1500&#038;ssl=1 1500w,https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/www.corbinstreehouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/CNC-Spoilboard-DSC01334-1024x684.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=1800&#038;ssl=1 1800w,https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/www.corbinstreehouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/CNC-Spoilboard-DSC01334-1024x684.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=2000&#038;ssl=1 2000w\" alt=\"\" data-height=\"1710\" data-id=\"7917\" data-link=\"https:\/\/www.corbinstreehouse.com\/blog\/?attachment_id=7917\" data-url=\"https:\/\/www.corbinstreehouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/CNC-Spoilboard-DSC01334-1024x684.jpg\" data-width=\"2560\" src=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/www.corbinstreehouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/CNC-Spoilboard-DSC01334-1024x684.jpg?ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\"\/><\/figure><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Having a lot of dog holes allows me to easily setup multiple work stations.
