Comments sought on new build: A CNC Router for RC Gliders and Planes

[njhussey]

Well due to my hat at work changing from engineer to Web designer ive not done anything mechanical or electrical to the machine...However I have been cutting bits for an RC Glider in my lunches....



Now to crack on with CAD and finish off some drawings so I can make more models!

how are those parts cut ?

Which bits? The wing ribs are nested so I can fit them on a 400mm x 100mm sheet (small packet post sixe) and ive got holding tabs on them to keep them in the sheet. The ply pieces are done the sane making sure the grain is in the right direction. The fuselage sides are done in 2 pieces and I cut them in half with a spline line so they can again fit in the packet for a small parcel and then fit perfectly together again and make a side. The balsa ribs and fuz sides were done with a 1mm cutter and the ply with a 2mm.....think that's about it.
