3 Axis CNC router

[Jonathan]

What was that programmed in? Aspire ?
Is it flat, it looks curved ? Giz the code, i might cut this in gold, well brass anyway worth more than gold.

Yes aspire, Jazz did it.
Not curved, hmm.. could use CNCtoolkit to wrap it round a profile. Finally an excuse to make the 5-axis spindle mount!

On it's way to you now, we'll call it straight swop for ferrari.!!

Ta, got it.
Also found the DXF for it.
Translated onto brass at 120mm round 20 degree V carve it says 2 hours 57 cutting
90 degree cutter is 1 hour 43

[Jonathan]

Probably got it twice.

I think 20 degree will cut a bit too deep? I doubt the time estimates will be anywhere near unless your machine acceleration is exceptionally high. Still it'll be interesting to find out.

Any chance of a copy of the code as well?

Thanks.

If I remember right thats roughly about what it took me when I did it.?? But it's been that long since I did it I can't remember.

Like Jon says 20 deg will cut deep but I'm sure you will have sussed that and limited it's depth.? I've seen a nice one done with aspire that cuts the bottoms of deep area's flat and rest Vcarved.

Thanks.

Problem is it's 17Mb file (5Mb zipped) with 850,000 lines of code.!!

PM me a email and I'll fire it over.
