    What CNC’s do you all have, and what software are you using for CAD/CAM?

    CNC routing HDPE

    Hi Mike, My past experience with machining UHMW led to a discussion with the technical folks at Onsrud. They recommended a two-flute "O Flute" bit, and to adjust speed and feed to produce chips about 0.007" thick. This thickness provided the best heat removal, cutting speed, and cutter life. If...

    I have been considering making some crudite platters, and was in the design process when my wife told me she needed a platter for her chocolate chip cookies for an upcoming event. I'd already built up a blank 36" x 10" x 1.5" from some ash and cherry, so a quick visit back to the drafting...

    Rikon lathe 220v help...
