| hello peeps got bored at work yesterday so decided to make a VW badge for the rear of a mk3, it was very difficult to trig out all off the points and angles and only making it from a selection of very few dimensions i could check with my verniers and by its look, it took me awhile to machine a correct 1 with the finish i was happy with, as with perspex if you cut it to quick it will chatter and if you cut it to sslow it will chip as it is very brittle. both of these conditions restrict the 'see-throughness' and the material becomes cloudy, i done this using my brain and a cnc horizontal milling machine, and i got paid to do it lol, it is two pieces as it would be nigh on imposible to work out all of the points without a drawing or without using cad, and the fact we didnt have a 5mm flute length 1mm cutter lol, neway sorry bout the sa and here is the finished part, all comments are welcome, good or bad, cheers guys n gals!! | |
