A Different Approach to Cutting CNC Parts – No More Bandsaws!

Still cutting CNC parts the hard way? Let’s talk about a different approach!

In this episode, Shawn from @SBSOLOCO walks through how he tabs CNC parts apart instead of reaching for the bandsaw. If you’ve ever had to cut ganged parts, deal with burrs, or spend extra time cleaning up, this approach might be worth checking out. He talks about why he tabs parts, how he sets them up, and some tricks he’s picked up over the years to make the process smoother.

Instead of just hacking parts apart and dealing with the mess, Shawn’s got a way to keep them solid during machining but easy to break free when it’s time to remove them. No extra cleanup, no wasted stock—just a simple, repeatable method that works in his shop.
