Made these for a local beer co, Wolf Beer. This particular brew is Timber Wolf. The cutouts will get mounted to the bar tap handles. The T is suppose to look like the wolf's head and the W is a fang. They are about .5" X 3.5" X 3.25". A few are Maple, but most are made of Ash.

Nice J R

Thanks Nils

Nothing beats REAL WOOD... I hate mdf...looking good JR. Did they supply you with the artwork or do you do it yourself ?
|
Nice little contract, make me feel like one of those contract making you enjoy every instance of owning a CNC ! Nicely done too ;).
I’m Curious JR, what size approx one is & how is it hold down and / or what was your cutting strategy / approach ? |
Kobus I did one for "White Wolf" a WW with the outside of the Ws extended down to look like fangs (their design). I stayed with that idea and came up with the wolf look for the T. I used Turbocad and Sheetcam.
Robert I used 3 hand screw clamps to hold down a 1/2" X 6" X 48" board. Nested 2 parts side by side, used 5 small tabs (1/8" X 3/8") on each one to keep them in place. first I used a 1/8" upcut spiral bit to make 3 passes (50" ipm), the last one being a finish pass taking .010". I then used a 90 degree bit (same feed rate as above) to bevel the outside. The finished part is about 3 1/4" X 3 1/2" |
How were you compensated? Bucks or beer?:)
|
Bucks AND Beers is even better :D :D
|
Doug they tried to sell me on a deal where I and all my friends would get free beer for the rest of our lives, but I don't even drink a 12 pack a month and I wasn't sure about you guys so I took the $50.00 instead.:eek::D:p

This is the link to the video of my MechMate cutting the TW logos.

J.R.
Very nice. Have you thought about cutting the V bit first? How big are the tabs you are using? Thanks |
Nils the tabs are a little less than 1/8" thick and 3/8" long. The upcut spiral will leave a rough top surface. The bevel bit last removes this and you will have very little hand sanding.

Let's really cool J.R.
In the video you mention a vacuum hold down. Are you using both vacuum and clamps to hold the work piece? |
Wayne my spoil board is not glued down, so with high humidity it will cup a little. This is not a problem if you have a vacuum hold down system ..... it will pull it flat. Even if I'm using clamps I still use the vacuum.
