I made progress on my project from last month’s show-and-tell thread - I have cut some first article pieces on the FSL.
One was cut at remmended settings and almost cut cleanly. The other was triple-pass with lower power and practically fell apart when moved.
Initial fitment is good, but I clearly need to better contour the front end - good thing I didn’t commit to the entire stack!
Chisel off one strata at the clip engagement point and it clicks into place solidly.
Now I just need to tweak the profile, design the electronics (battery contacts, drivers, switching), accommodate said electronics, figure out the optics, etc etc etc.
