	* Example: In the photo below, the workpiece was cut up to 2.25” deep in 2.75” pine, 12”x31”. Rough cut was with a 3/8”, 3-blade cutter for a 4-hour cut, planned for 1mm material remaining. The rough—cut planning involved layers of 6mm (1/4”) until final depth. After 3/4” of depth, the code was paused, and the dust shoe was removed since the tool-head plunge began to get close to the shoe exterior. From then on, the dust vacuum had to be held manually. Once complete, the machine was shut-down, cleaned up and left overnight (or two). The finish cut was a 1/16” taper bit, 30% step over, with no dust shoe. The vacuum/dust system was only needed every 4 to 10 passes, along with some air-hose bursts, to keep the workspace clean. The ceiling vent was still used for this work, since it was fine particles and long-duration. [Inspiration was Touch Terrain website, with a terrain model based around Claytor Lake]		* Example: In the photo below, the workpiece was cut up to 2.25” deep in 2.75” pine, 12”x31”.

	The Onefinity is a CNC router. It is used for precision-carving of wood, acrylic, soft metals and other materials. Onefinity generously discounted this unit through a Makerspace support program they offered to Hacksburg. A CNC router processes "G-code" to tell it where in X,Y,Z space to go, how fast, and in what order. The essence of the process is to first create a model or design (CAD, STL, Thingiverse, Inkscape), then convert that design into G-code. The G-code is transfered to the router controller on a thumb drive, and the router controller executes that code to completion.		The Onefinity is a CNC router.

Hacksburg paired the router with a powerful, 24,000 RPM water-cooled cutting motor.
