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) |

Steve; PM sent. Thank you very much!
BRODIE: I have version 20.6 and version 23. I was playing with 20 3 or 4 years ago while trying to build a router table. (dozen surgeries later I gave up on said router table, hence the smaller machine) and I decided that I'd upgrade to 23 at Christmas when I bought the mill. I saved bobCAD's number in my phone so each time they call I know it is them and I just hit the 'ignore' button. LOL Thank you again for all of the help! Clay; I've got your request noted. =o) Mark; Oh how I would like to come visit you at work and see the huge machines that carve clay cars. Those are the ones that got me interested in multi(3+)-axes CNC machines. Jamie; It looked huge compared to my tiny mill; now it looks small. (and I noted that you would like the set of wheels when I get them figured out and carved) Underthetire; I stand corrected. Thank you for the links! I had fun drooling over the REAL huge machines! |
