-Eid Frames!-


MY MOST TIME CONSUMING PROJECT TO DATE - 2001

ONE OF MY FIRST CNC MASS PRODUCTION PROJECTS.


These frames were also some of the first things I made with CNC. I must say it became a huge project and something I don't care to repeat.

Overall it probably took me 1 week spending anywhere from 3 to 10 hours per day to figure out exactly HOW to make this project come to life.

I had the idea in my head but NO CLUE how to put it to machining...

Problems I faced:

-The first problem was how to draw what I wanted in CAD

-How do I exactly hold the plastic on the machine

-How do I make it so I can repeat the same program to make multiple parts

-What size endmill or cutting speed do I use

After a bag full of scraps, 2 broken endmill  the frames started to come to life. The end result was great but I don't plan to run this assembly line anytime soon :)

.

Plastic is Double Side Taped to a piece of wood which is also taped to the mill. Scotch double side tape works great!
