For Christmas I scored a Jet Hobby Mill to go with all of my stepper motors and CAD-CAM software and 3-d scanner.
I still need to get the correct collet and end mills; but I'm quite excited to get started machining some parts. Does anyone have a 914 emblem I can borrow? Someone was wanting a 914-8 machined, and I need a 914 to scan and model to get to cutting out some aluminum parts. Also; does anyone have an R/C 914 setup? I'm planning on machining the Fuchs wheels out of aluminum and need someone to help me out with getting the offset and diameter just right. I'm also thinking of machining a 914-World emblem for the backs of our cars out of aluminum. If I do go for that, I'll snail one off to Eric first, get his opinion and stamp of approval. I've been studying online all of this stuff on CNC and machining and am quite excited to actually get going with some 'on hands' stuff! Any other suggestions, for things to carve out of some aluminum? Attached image(s) |

ooh oooh... awesome; thank you for all of the help, guys!
Rick, same font as normal 914 emblems? And thanks for the wheel set loan! Are they a good offset? We'll have much closer than that by the time I get done playing. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Mr. underthetire; This mill takes MT2 style stuff. It's definitely small! I'd like a few different shapes to get started with on the end mills. A ball headed one or two, a corner rounder or two, and then square nosed. I can adapt spindle speed to number of flutes and materials. I think I need hold down clamps as well. I haven't had a chance to check it all out yet. it showed up an hour before I went into surgery, and my dad unpacked it and set it up in his shop for me. He sent me that particular pic as well. I haven't even plugged it in yet. My excitement is growing. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) thanks again! |
