i own a cnc multicam router machine, what would be the best product that i can make using this machine

industrial part like automotive or anything

-industrial part like automotive, aeronautic, medic industry, and other
-any website give part’s description and complete with dimension
-i need to know because i want to fabricate for my final year project
thank you

I have a sheet of MDF (2500 x 1250 x 30mm) and I want to find out if it is possible to cut 3mm (or the width of the minimum size router bit possible) square grooves/slits across the MDF exactly 12mm apart. These grooves/slits would run the length of the MDF from top to bottom, but importantly would not run right to the edges of the sheet.

Basically this would mean I would end up with a large thick piece of MDF with very long slits (aproximately 1200mm long and 12mm apart) running right across the material.

I have spoken to a number of people who have suggested this is not possible because cutting the grooves/slits that close together would move the material or at least make it unstable to the point where the grooves/slits would not be straight.

Is this really correct? I find this very strange as I would have though that doing something like this would be incredible easy for a CNC router.
Also, would CNC router be able to cut the grooves/slits in one pass or would the machine likely cut the top section first and then lower the router bit to cut the bottom section of the grooves/slits?
The reason I want to use a CNC router is because I need the cuts absolutely straight and with hardly if any tool marks on the cut surfaces.

Importantly, the grooves/slits would be cut completely through the material so that you would be able to see through the MDF e.g like a big set of prison bars sort of thing.

Today’s high-performance CNC machines operate at extremely high rates of speed, requiring an oil mist eliminator to remove vast amounts of coolant. For example, the Haas MDC-500 Mill DrillCenter features a high-volume coolant pump and a 40-gallon coolant tank. Mist eliminators are designed to remove the oil mist and smoke from cutting fluids in metalworking environments.

The health hazards of oil mist exposure associated with the machine tool industry have been well documented. The websites for OSHA, NIOSH and the CDC provide a wealth of valuable information for both employers and employees regarding safety issues and cutting fluids.

One of the most common afflictions of workers exposed to oil mist is Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis (HP). This is an allergic reaction to machine coolant that worsens with continued exposure. HP is caused by microbes in the cutting oil that affect air sacs in the deepest part of the lung. Symptoms include fever, chills, deep coughing and shortness of breath.

A mist eliminator collects and removes the harmful particles and smoke from oil mist. Not only does an oil mist eliminator protect workers health, it can also help increase production and improve your shops overall environment.

Oil Mist Eliminator Benefits:

* Potential health problems and lost man hours are reduced by capturing harmful airborne mist particles

* A good quality mist eliminator will help your shop to be in safety compliance with OSHA and NIOSH airborne oil mist limits

* Using a mist eliminator reduces maintenance costs by keeping exposed areas free from oil. This not only frees up your maintenance crew, but also saves parts and surfaces from machine oil mist

* Your production can be increased by reducing machine downtime. A mist eliminator protects the contacts in electronic equipment from becoming fouled by removing the oil mist from the air

-the fastest way to machining any industrial part using cnc milling?

A test indicator will not repeat but a coaxial and/or a test indicator used with a swivel type holder will repeat.
