caitlin's cnc copper




I helped Caitlin out with some illustrator files yesterday. We wrote some rhinocam files for seven sheets of shapes and started cutting some 20 gauge copper sheet. I broke the encoder cable on my studio mill (for the 2nd time), so had to use the mill that I just set up for cnc. It's working out well with doing an engraving mop set and then a profiling mop set. One 4"x 12" sheet of shapes takes about 45 minutes total. I could probably speed it up, but I'm using a small endmill for the profile, so I can get a bit deeper into the tight corners. Better to play it a little safe...

no! I'm not capable of such complexity.
