How did you cut these, if not on a rotary axis?
Here is my attempt using your model and cutting it on the 4th axis. It deserves a better bit of wood.
Sorry for the poor picture. Can't find my camera and this was taken with a mobile phone.
greg... some more pic... it shows the gap under the bridge-gantry is exact 4 inch...
i was thinking on to raise the gantry, but the z movement around 2 1/2 inch only 65 mm approx... so after raising the gantry, i could work on the Z and Y axis too..
last week i made some plates for the rotary i started... i had some scrap aluminum...
this week i just ordered some machinevise and other stuff for my milll... so it might help me more..
it will work okay with my older router..
i made about 1:5 ratio because of the small motors..
I also wanted to comment and thank you for always adding your knowledge and info in great detail. You have taught me a lot with all the input you give on the forum and I appreciate that very much.
Thanks,
Dave
EDIT: Greg, your work is absolutely amazing as always -
thanks to greg to helped me showing this work in both way, with rotary and with ""flipping"" on table..
this type of work works faster with rotary.. the reason i show this method because many user out there, who might can't afford rotary and expenses equipment...
also several type of model that need multiple sidemachining... indexing on sides and calculate separated toolpath for sides... like human figures with arms or similar objects..
in this work, might worth to pointing the petals, as their shape very difficult (if not impossible) in cad.. so i think very reasonable to learn method, combine aspire sculpting-smoothing ability with cad-cam3d...
