So we have a simulated door edge here.
We're going to install this TECTUS hinge in it,
that's the TE 240.
And to do that we're going to add
a little customization to Plate.
When it comes to customizing Plate,
we have all these mounting holes for your own customizations
be it fixtures on the underside,
we'll run you through an example now.
Basically what you get is indexing holes.
So these are precisely milled out 5 millimeter holes
with no threading.
And then every second one of these
is threaded for a 5 millimeter screw.
So we shape with a file on ShaperHub
that has all the layout of that,
so you can customize your own stuff,
and get elements that are weird shapes,
aligned exactly where you need them within the cut window.
So for this example we're going to mount this
to the leading edge and you'll notice we have
little 5 millimeter pins.
These are going to get us our precise alignment.
So they're milled to the exact
5 millimeter dimension we need here.
And then we've got the screws
which are a little more floating
but that's what's going to give us our mounting pressure.
So I just align that where I need it,
jiggle it around a little and it'll fall into place.
Then we just tighten it up here.
We don't want to go crazy with tightening
'cause it is pressing against the nonslip mat.
There we go.
With that installed, we now have a whole face
that we can clamp against to get us vertical alignment.
It's with the vertical face attached to Plate
we can now confidently be resting up against the surface
and cutting at 90 degrees properly supported.
Don't store Origin out here, you'll bend it.
So to get our alignment relative to the pencil mark,
so I can now stow that and clamp.
So I'm just going to double check my alignment,
we could have dragged that sideways.
Nope, that's perfect.
So we're doing this meticulously.
These hinges actually have the ability to correct,
I believe it's up to about 3 mills in any direction.
3 millimeters.
But with Plate attached in this way,
we now have a very accurate alignment
to that leading edge of your door and the pencil mark.
Good to go.
So bringing Origin up to Plate we'll see
the previous project we were working on,
which is the Brusso.
So that's the last project associated with this tape view.
Now if I go to scan workspace, I can either just look
for the TE 240 workspace or I can search here
and just type in 240 and then you'll notice
we get one match for that, and now that's filtered
based on just anything that's 240.
So by returning to this one, we are in business.
We can cut this project immediately.
So, you'll notice once we start getting into, you know,
if I was to then move sideways to the next hinge,
this is all ready to go.
So there's minimal setup once you've done this once.
Okay, notice the call out here,
27 millimeters deep, for this big pocket in the center.
I'm going to have to install the large cutter for that.
So this is our, this can cut up to 42 millimeters deep,
so we're not going to use all of that,
but it's an 8 millimeter collet.
So we're going to switch to this now.
It's an 8 millimeter collet,
and then install our 8 millimeter cutter.
And I'm going to want to make sure
that's mounted pretty low there.
If I do that sticking out too far,
I run the risk of scuffing or cutting into my tape field.
When I install this on top of Plate,
I just want to check down here
and confirm I clear that surface before I tighten it up.
So the highest point is going to be over the tape field,
and I've got about a millimeter there, so,
so long as you follow the way I set that up,
we can safely cut here and move Origin aside
without damaging our tape.
So we'll notice here, there's nothing below me
in this lower area, so I can't do a touch off here.
I can come over here and get a touch off.
I'm just going to do that now, touch off.
So this is just confirming my cutter knows
where the top surface of my material is.
With that done, we are good to cut.
So I'm going to do the top one first,
with a little offset, 0.01.
I'm going to tilt Origin just a little bit,
because I'm going all the way to the edge
and I want to make sure it's properly supported
as it moves across Plate.
Offset 0.01, cutter 8 millimeters.
So, let's go.
(machine cutting)
So I'd encourage you to take a look at that,
whenever things get strange.
Chances are there's something you can make
right on Origin that will get you the alignment
or the fixturing setup you need.
