I may even try my hand at making an Acrylic Lit Sign just got to rattle the old nugget to come up with something to etch onto the Acrylic.

Re: How I make Edge lit displays
There are so many light kits available on Amazon with different designed electronics is there a particular one that fits the base you designed?

Is you tool geometry correct for the O flute? 1/8" bit with 1/2" pass depth?Aussie wrote: ↑Fri Nov 20, 2020 7:21 amPlenty to choose from on www.shutterstock.comsharkcutup wrote: ↑Fri Nov 20, 2020 7:04 am@Aussie (Way Down Yonder!)

Re: How I make Edge lit displays
I shall check the tool information, when loading a new tool into the database I use the Master Tool file from Amana .... I fell into the trap of changing the tool parameters in the database rather than editing the tool in the toolpath.... now I just use sight and sound when cutting for feed, speed and chipload, I am always very conservative with my DOC as it matters not to me whether the cut takes 5 mins or 10 mins as I am just a home hobbyist and have plenty of things to do in the shop while its cutting.ken whiklo wrote: ↑Fri Nov 20, 2020 8:13 pmIs you tool geometry correct for the O flute? 1/8" bit with 1/2" pass depth?Aussie wrote: ↑Fri Nov 20, 2020 7:21 amPlenty to choose from on www.shutterstock.comsharkcutup wrote: ↑Fri Nov 20, 2020 7:04 am@Aussie (Way Down Yonder!)

Re: How I make Edge lit displays
Even as a rookie I know speed and feed is machine dependent

Re: How I make Edge lit displays
I am a rookie as well, but I have never seen a tool cut 4X its diameter.
