First Real 4th Axis Project
Posted: Mon Apr 27, 2015 10:33 am
I'm starting off slow so I can get use to rotary machining so for a first project I decided to turn a pen with a 3d model.
The first was my prototype of a pole dancer on a dowel rod to work out the offsets and such. The others are the finished pen in Granidillo.
This is going to open up a whole bunch of new box work for me. Oh, I should point out that just like my engraved lighters the height on the figure is only
0.05". The higher it is, the more uncomfortable it is to actually write with. Cheers!
