A little CADing, a little CNCing...

Jon Bond said:

we had to make a "medallion" in one of my classes while learning how
to do CNC stuff. limited to 2.5 dimensions (2d surfaces with height
differences) because we only have one good 3d CNC machine, but this
is what I came up with. Its attached to an Air motor - spins a good
1500RPM with a small compressor. I might go make a keychain out of a
similar design after my finals are done (2 more days!)

That's funny... Today was the first day of summer classes for me. Spring
semester ended 1.5 weeks ago.

Just took my last final Friday, I will NEVER take 5 courses (15 hours)
in one semester again still managed a 3.4 but what a burden!

Summer-I starts May 28 only taking 6 hours each summer term
I like summer terms, 6 weeks and you are done ;-)

Sweet! I want one one of those keychains! 😉

Very nice job.

Used to work at a place that had fifth axis machine. A Mazak QT 28 (or
30??). In fact, it had to be sent back to Mazak to have the deck shaved, and
the entire internals reversed (the fifth axis was hitting the deck). It was
one of only three in the world of this configuration, at the time. All three
were in the company.

How about some bke parts. Chainings ,spiders,crankarms,
keyrings are a dime a a dozen.

I work with two fifth axis machines, a haas and a fadal, too bad the haas is

We had one Haas, and the guys who operated it shared your sentiments. The
Haas was not a fifth axis though.
