Getting exact hole sizes in your woodworking projects with a CNC router is a known issue and there is a way to get the holes to the EXACT size.
Making holes the exact size requires a bit of understanding of how the program is set up. This trick will take you to the next level with your CNC router.
The tips in this video show you how the industry compensates for a well-known issue and how to compensate for it.
The reasons hole sizes vary are many..material variations, size of the hole, the machine, cutting tool, etc.
All cnc software has features that allow you to take this into account. It will be called “allowance” or “offset”. This will tell the program how to write the code to run holes with your CNC router.
When you enter an offset, you are telling the software to add or remove that amount from the tool diameter

This video shows you BobsCNC CNC router engraving on glass using a diamond drag engraving bit.
how to engrave (etch) on glass and soft metals on a CNC router using drag bit engravers. It also shows you how to set up the CNC router for engraving the glass and what engraving tools you will need. Engraving n glass is very different than carving. In fact, some projects can only use this method. when you don’t have an engraving machine, a CNC router works just as well.
Etching with a drag bit is much easier and less messy than wood carving. There is glass dust but it remains very close to the etch line. A quick vacuum cleans it quickly.
This method also works with brass, aluminum, and any other soft metals.
It is STRONGLY recommended to use a spring-loaded drag bit when engraving on glass with a CNC router. This eliminates possible variations in pressure that can break the glass. It also is very forgiving for a spoil board that is uneven…you can have 0.25″ variation and will still get a good project without damage or glass breaking.
Glass engraving can be done on any CNC router. This job was done on a BobsCNC evolution 4 (evo4)
If you own a CNC router, please take this survey: https://bit.ly/3r5XzNh
CNC settings for the diamond drag bit:
→ Spindle remains off
→ the tool is setup as an endmill in the tool library
→ Feed 30 inches per minute
→ Depth of cut 0.05 to 0.1 inches
If you search Amazon for a spring-loaded drag bit, you will find one that is not Widgetworks brand. DO NOT BUY THAT ONE IF YOU WANT TO ENGRAVE ON GLASS. The ratings repeatedly say the tip breaks on glass and other hard materials.
However, it does have good ratings for acrylic. Here is the link: https://amzn.to/3bgWiwK
