  Why not run a full depth pass ? No water marks and less wear on the bit by using the full cut length. You would cut the machine time 2/3 … ramp in on X,Y one cut and a finish pass. The strategy you are using is for slot milling but you removed the waste… full length of cut is the best way to save time and your bit life. This is coming from a machinist.

  CNC can never do what the great luthiers have done for hundreds of years. There is not one set of perfect measurements. Every great violin is different from all others. All is dependent on the stiffness and texture of each and every wooden part. That is determined by years of experience carving and fitting all the parts into the best possible instrument. The feel of the resistance when carving tells the luthier the proper thickness of each piece. The way the plates bend under the tension he twists them with. No two pieces of wood are the same, Not even from the same tree. No two luthiers are the same. No two musicians are the same. No computer programs can find this out. Not even AI. All goes back to that saying I first heard in the early 70's, "Garbage in, Garbage out. It may look like a violin, but will end up being a item that looks like a violin.

I set that stupid probe aside (because things turn out better if I Z from the spoil board) and I see you set the Y to the centerline but how do you get the X? I gather you set the bit to the side of the body just enough to cut into it but I feel like I'm missing some info here.. Can you clarify how you get the X-Y Axis? I would really appreciate this because I'm very interested in understanding the way you set this up..

  Since you made this 17-part series of your CNC produced copy of the Guaneri 'del Gesu" Vieutemps, you probably have become aware of the CNC copy of a Stradivarius done from actual CT scans of an actual Strad. The team that produced it used carefully selected, aged wood to get as close to the density and grain of the Strad. It was later stained and made to look almost identical to the actual violin by a museum reproduction professional. Later it was presented to a group of violin professionals and music experts at a music seminar. Both the original Strad and the copy were played side by side, without telling the audience which was which. They then voted for which one they thought was the actual Strad. Amazingly, they got it wrong. If nothing else, it proves that CNC produced instruments can, in fact, be very good-sounding instruments. The main difference between the ones being mass-produced primarily in China, and the handmade individually crafted bench violins being made both in China and many other countries, is that the wood quality used for the CNC is not of the exceptional grades that most luthiers seek out when they are going to put the time into hand carving. The cheapest ones also often are flawed by production shortcuts. I have both a Chinese bench made violin ($4,000) and a CNC made Chinese violin ($350). In all honesty, there is a difference in the sound, though the inexpensive one has a decent sound even for performance. The bench made is bit a easier to play and a has warmer tone and is more resonant. As I'm sure you know, there are so many other variables that come into play (string selection, quality of bow hair, rosin, skill level of the player, etc.) that it is very difficult to make a dogmatic claim that CNC violins aren't as good as hand carved. For those who argue that hand carved violins are more "unique", I would reply that most of them are also copies of the most well-known Strads, Guaneri's, Amatis, etc. and show little uniqueness even in the assemblage. The biggest thing that makes them unique is the wood itself... and that can also be true of CNC made violins. For the most part, it is just the hard-core traditionalists who hate to think that one day everyone might be able to afford a great sounding violin, and no one will stand out... which of course isn't true. No matter how much the violins look and sound alike, the skill of the player will always be what makes it truly great.
