From "Start to Part"

Post by firepoker1965 »

I did this in 3hrs. I saw an example part in Modern Machine Shop magazine and just was curious how long it would take to make with Cut2D. Material is aluminum.Sorry for the bad picture quality. I will try to get a better photo later.

Hello,
The part looks very good, although the picture probably could show it better. I hope you actually have a use for the part after taking the time to cut it? Do you have some more aluminum parts planned to cut? Thanks for posting the picture and details.
Best regards,
Wes

Thanks Wes,

I am going to use the part as an example piece to show potential customers. I need to get more business.

As far as more aluminum parts go , I will make more just to keep my machining skills "honed".

Here are some better photos.

I am used to creating geometry with Mastercam , but this exercise was intended for me to become more familiar with Cut2d geometry creation.I had some difficulty placing the arcs in the exact places I wanted so I just used the cursor for a real close approximation.

Practice , practice , practice.......

Regards,
Tony
