CNC Saloon: Rotary in Action with Al This Saturday @ 7 PM (Buddy Burgers @ 5:30 PM)

[Joaquim (Joaquim Pacer)]

All,

If you enjoyed the rotary discussion from our February CNC SIG, now you get to see the good stuff in action!

Join us for the CNC Saloon this Saturday, March 28 at 7:00 PM at Asmbly in the Multi-Purpose Room for a short discussion. Then we’ll head over to the CNC machines to see Al demonstrate the rotary tool in action.

If you want to hang out beforehand, we’ll also be meeting at Buddy’s Burgers at 5:30 PM.

This will be a great chance to get a more concrete feel for how rotary works on the CNC, what it can do, and what it takes to go from “that seems neat” to actually cutting parts. And I guarantee you, our discussions will get circular!

Also, quick heads-up: our next CNC SIG will be on Sunday, April 12, not April 5, so it doesn’t conflict with Easter.

Hope to see y’all there this Saturday!

For the demo, I was thinking of trying to carve this Tiki. Other suggestions are welcome!

[bwatt (Brian D. Watt)]

It’s on my calendar!

A table leg? But it would probably take too long. I have an STL file of it.

[atwatsoniii (Al Watson)]

The Tiki was going to take a while as well (1hr +). Send me the STL.

That Tiki is cool, but a table leg seems practical as heck!
Also practical…
harley quinn’s bat out of a 2x4 or 4x4?
oh oh…
Renfest is kicking off, right? How about a wand or a staff or a sword from a 2x4?
ooooooohhhhhhhh… or easter! a 4x4 easter egg would be neato. with groves and such my kids could paint. i can’t even imagine how to go about making such a thing in vCarve.

Granted, i don’t have STLs for any of that, so … table leg? table leg sounds good to me!

[bwatt (Brian D. Watt)]

The file is too large to add to this post, send me your email to “my email address removed”. I have a 4x4 too.

That tiki looks dope
