If so, join us this Friday evening for our first CNC Salon! Initial post here:
We will be meeting at Buddy’s Burgers at 5:30 for some nosh (their fries and lemonade are legit!) before going back to the shop to create some snowmen on the CNCs. I will be bringing bits and paint for others to use. Bring along an 11"x26"x.75" piece of wood if you want to play along (I will likely have extra and there are always good scraps in the cart).
James and I will be having a side competition on optimizing tool paths and pushing the machines to their limits. The files as downloaded from the Vectric site say they will take 1hr7min each to cut. With toolpath optimization, tooling choices and toolpath tiling I’m determined to get mine to under 10 minutes. Want to see how? Then come join us!
No CNC experience? No problem!
Come meet fellow Asmbly members and we will take care of you and show the sheer awesomeness that our CNCs are.
And with the hellish week I’ve been having, there will definitely be a CNC Saloon at a local watering hole after we are done.
I’ll be there with a piece of maple I’ve had drying in a shed for years and my tools. The piece is 10 3/4 by 33 by 1 - I hope that’ll work since it’s not 11 wide. See you at Buddy’s Burgers at 5:30.
That should work great Brian. Grain direction is not as important for a project like this so we can tilt it to make it fit.
I just checked out Home Depot on my way out to grab lunch and found plenty of options that could work for this project. I grabbed myself the laminated panel so I can build a couple to refine the process.
Thanks for the reminder! I’ll be working at Circuit of the Americas until 5pm, so hopefully I can make it to Buddy’s before y’all leave. Or just meet you at ASMBLY.
