"Chinese" panels
 

One of my friends with the chinese CNC gave me some vectors to cut and here they are finally cut

Irfan what dia. cutter did you use?

3mm two flude carbide endmill

i got your email - it was residing in the spam - donno why though! I send out the file soon.

thanks,Btw I like what you have cut in post # 12

Lovely, will it be imposing to ask for the .dxf file?

Irfan I would also like to get those files. Thanks

Sorry folks - I promised I would not share!

Sorry for assuming, thought it was the same file you sent to Hennie in post #3:o

Oh the file i sent to Hennie and Jack was of the new design computer table, I did not even get it right for Hennie - he needed the 16mm thk which I am still working on for.

I apologize for the confusion :(

Irfan I have already changed it to 16 mm I will cut the table on Friday had to sort out some grubscrew problems on my x -axis.Advice to anyone who reads this and are still building use big grub screws.I started small and it gave me endless trouble.

J.R. I am working on some of those files maybe we must start a thread where we share files of projects that we have done.

Hennie, that sounds great. You guys know if I have a file you want, all you got to do is let me know.

Made my version of the middle pattern in coreldraw and exported it to adobe illustrator, size 500x1000mmm but since these are vectors they can be scalated. Small rectangles are 50x100mm.

Deleted the attached file

[edit] Oops, forgot to add that little holes, but it should be no problem to add them in coreldraw.

Pablo, it is not right for you to offer a copy of a pattern that Irfan's customer was not willing to share, so I deleted it.

They are easy to produce. Look at the last one...some squares and triangles in an oval...real easy to do yourself in coreldraw or some other cad program.

actually let me tell you how it is done -

its all single line drawings, the drawing is scaled to what ever size sheet you want to do with, then you increase the line thickness per your requirement, then ungroup and combine

do a ctrl+shift+q and you will have the borders.

all the above is the procedure in corel draw!

enjoy!

I don't agree with your decision, its already shared in form of a picture, I just made my version of it.
But, hey, your place, your rules, I shouldn't be complaining here :)

Thank Pablo, Irfan,
I was dying to know how it is done.

Nice design Irfan :) To all others following is the Java Applet for making combinations of design and you can export it into EPS format.. Its free..
