Jewelry Box Trays

Post by Jeff E. »

Just thought I would share my first Cut3d experience with you. I made trays for an oak box my wife picked up on vacation and has been using for a jewelry box. I drew the trays in Rhino3d, exported them as LightWave drawings (better curve retention for all the fillets) and cut them with Cut3D. I used a .25 inch ball nose end mill for both roughing and finish passes - the combined machining time was just under 2 hours per tray. For the finish pass I used a 6% step over and the trays came out requiring no sanding - that is until I tried to use a water based polyurethane to finish the oak trays. Hey, my primary work is with metal! Turned out ok in the end.

While she's in a good mood, now is the time to ask for a new tool!
