I gotta try that bob. mine ain't to reusable unless I wanted to record the holes from home position. then maybe I could still them in the same spot every time.

super nice video. now i may have to give that a try. lol man this is all giving me a headache. i did figure out how to get good results with 2 sided machining. might be a long way around but it worked. after the finish cut one the top side. i went to zero . then from there jogged the y axis up and drilled a 1/8th hole. then jogged to the other end on the y axis drilled another hole. i had some nails here that was just a hair over 1/8 that i used for a dowell. flipped the wood over mirrored the image and cut the back side.

i got vectric cut 3d to create my tool paths. its 300$ but so far it and my uc100 usb controller hasnt made a mistake that i didnt cause lol
-
lol I'm trying. still up at 1:50am giving it hell. I believe by this time tomorrow I should maybe have one workable 3d model. I'm just going to go with vectric cut 3d to create my tool paths I think. I played around with it. it seems pretty simple. I like the photo v carve they have to. I want to cut a portrait out of my boy, as a late mothers day present to my wife and both grandmas.

yea I have the uc100 it seems to work perfect. I have only cut out the files that are already created to test the machine tho. as I'm still to dumb to create my own. would gladly pay someone to do it and send me the files so I could cut them if its possible lol. I only run the uccnc program alone. if its up everything else is closed. well I did make a circle and cut it out. I must say its a dam nice circle to lol

if you got a couple hundred dollars and want a new toy buy you a metal micro mill from eBay. then you can drill centered holes all day long no problem at all.
-
the restorer is awesome. when it gets real dirty I just strain it through a coffee filter into another container, and your good to go again.

where in ky ya from. I have painted a few baits and might can help you out if you run into some troubles. as far as airbrushes go iwata or badger. I have tried them all it comes down to ease of cleaning. most will spray good if there clean. cheap brushes just clog way to easy paint dries in places it shouldn't causing all kinds of problems. something with a .3 needle will work very well for detail and base coat. any smaller and your going to have trouble with thicker colors like white.
-
I had the same problem. it was my drill press. there was to much play in the shaft. I could get em closer to center with a hand drill.

awesome th for the info. I would lie to see them jigs you made to give me some ideas
-
my plan was to attempt to mill one side then flip the piece and mill the back side. thought about a 4th axis but that's going to be to time consuming I believe.
-
awesome ty I will go check the autodesk out.

wildest hardest thing I ever painted was the original by Dakota lake outdoors. I painted it like a grasshopper. took quite a few hours to paint all the detail. had to use erasing techniques and all.
-
i hadn't really looked at the benchtop machines. I was looking at a smithy or tormach both over 15k by the time you got accessories you needed. I may look into the tiag it seems a little heavier built than the sherline.
-
I don't know to much about it. seems most come with mach3.
-
there is little tricks you can use to make them seeds, gills, and craws easy.
-
looking for a good cbc mill that will do swim baits. anyone got any experience with these. I would like to keep the price under 10k. any and all help is appreciated.
-
im thinking of making some two piece resin swim baits. to those who have done it. what do you feel is the best way to attach the hardware. do you make a harness or soemthing to hold it in place, or maybe a through wire design, or something else?
