Hi balsaman i use cad all the time at work autocad and solidworks
mainly. I use mastercam 7 or 9 at home for gcode but havn't done anything for tha past year. Guess now i will start using it alot more to keep panzypoof cutting. I found master realetively easy to use after a few hours of playing with no manuel

.
Thanks for the g code to play with. If you ever need help with cad let me know

As to bits so far we just tried the one. It's a Surplus oldie I had.
Was at the Home Depo and picked up this one by Dremel #650 1/8 Router Bit @ $12can. Hmmm?
THe other is more of a File/rasp and a little Dull. A new one would be Ideal I figure??
Have yet to try cutting Ply. But I know Tree Magnet will be over soon to give that File a Try

Thinking now toward clamping System for the Trolly. Pins in foam is OK for thin Balsa But

PanzyPoof · Jan 11, 2003, 04:23 PM

OK so here's the CNC Router Table.
Just Installed a Neon Shop light over the Machine!

PanzyPoof · Jan 11, 2003, 04:25 PM

And anouther showing the Table/PC cabinet. Hmmm that was the most expensive part of the Build

PanzyPoof · Jan 11, 2003, 04:33 PM

LAst View for now is Controler Corner, Just added 12v fan and a Power is on Flashing Idiot lite.

OK I'll sit down and Price this Puppy out.

I want to try one of those file/rasps. I use carbide endmills and for soft balsa there is some tearing rather than cutting. The softer the balsa the worse the finish is. There is a place called Cutter Supply in my town where I buy the endmills. They are carbide, not HS steel so are very tough. I paid $7.00 each for them and broke two the first week I had my mill! I am still on my third and don't crash much now so.... They also have tons of misc carbide rasps etc. in a bin for $3.00 each. I will fish some of those out and try em next time I am there. I have tried a Dremel bit I bought at Can. Tire but it started smoking when I tried cutting lite ply. I think it was too fine and not cleaning out properly. I think too that the dremel bits are too much $$$ for the little HS steel bits.

Here's a close up of the cut and bit used.
I'd say it's a Vfine file bit. Too short this one.
There all from Active Surplus (Queen St) Ya know the Shop? 50c each but years ago, could be a loonie now.
Cranky would have a field day in there

Will have to hunt some more down. Soon

TreeMagnet did stab the Foam a few time's

it's dead

I know a machine-shop owner who's been using MasterCam for years. But it costs real money, don't it?

PanzyPoof,
I have a hardware store across the street from my
house. That's about it! The owner of the hardware store is very sick. The store is only open four hours a day. It is only a matter of time before I have to go miles for anything hardware related. The rents for small shops in my area is over $1000 per month. This has driven everybody out. I only have dollar store and nail salons. I would be in heaven to have a surplus place here. My nearest one only sells yesterday's parts at tomorrows prices. I do have a place near me that sells endmills. Only four flutes and only carbide. $8 each I want to buy some three flute endmills
next.

Hi,
I like using quality carbide bits. HSS seems to go dull quickly
around me! I would like a surplus place for ideas. The one closest to me used to be great. Now it's just computers and NTE parts. In fact upstairs is NTE. I can get almost any IC or Transistor there. I am looking for bearings-gears etc! Things that start me thinking.

PanzyPoof · Jan 12, 2003, 12:48 AM

This Surplus in Toronto is kool. Basement has lot's of bin's full of motors, bearings, gears, wire, etc. You would spend all day

Big box of bits! just ya have to fish for the files, mostly drills.
How about these Bits? They look Fine!http://www.leevalley.com/wood/page.a...71&ccurrency=1

balsaman · Jan 12, 2003, 01:18 PM

Dennis,

Those are nice cutters. They look like what I use, but they are too large. 1/8" is the smallest they sell. I use the 3 flute 1/16" bits just like those. I would like to try a 1/32" two flute if I can find one not too much $$.

Tree_Magnet · Jan 12, 2003, 05:11 PM
