These are some pictures of some of the early work with the CNC mill. These were designed by one of my colleagues, Yevgeniya Kaganovich as pieces to be engraved and pocketed for a couple pieces of new jewelry. She created a necklace from these scaled and repeated pearl clasp forms. After showing one of our students, Calen Curley, how to use Rhino, he did the drawings and he and I used RhinoCAM to write the g-code for the cutting operations. This was the beginning stages of drawing, programing, and running the mill. I learned a lot from this operation.
Great work! I'm glad to see people experimenting with milling directly in metal for jewelry. I can now go from design to finished prototype in a few hours.
I'd suggest using the non-foam (that is just double stick tape) carpet tape - it will hold the material just as securely (assuming you debur the cut sheet edges) and truer to the mounting surface.
I have switched to the non foam type tape and you are correct that it works way better. I used that on the gas tank badges that I made after doing these clasps.
I can't thank you enough for your website, blog, and customer service. Over the years your information has served as a way to keep me motivated and constantly learning. Thanks!
