more cnc action- cutting with all 3-axis!
















This is my first attempt at cnc milling an object on multiple sides
I had to make a jig that would hold the work piece exactly where I needed it to be after I flipped it.


The last picture shows a finish option we tried on the test piece.  It is milled aluminum that is sandblasted and then polished- I really like the look of it.


After a rough Saturday of learning to operate and write code for the cnc machine things went very smooth today.  Each clip took about 56 minutes to cut- each side is about 25 minutes and the original profile cutout took about 6 minutes.  


Four more to go!
