Unfortunately the learning curve can be pretty expensive. I destroyed (as
in snapped in half) $40 worth of .062 2 flute cutters working out the feed
& speed for cutting aluminum when I was working on the IFF panel.
I'm going to talk to Fred at Centurion Tools today and see what he
recommends I buy for this acrylic job. His cutters are very high quality
and not nearly as expensive as the Onsrud line.

It's a dream machine, literally. I dream it up, it cuts it out. :)
Sometimes it actually works out that way for real. *laughs*

G,
A BJ Mk1
Many design Ideas that I have raided from many people around the world via
the internet all rolled into one, with my own design flare, T.L.A.R theory.
At the moment its planned to be a proof of concept machine, it works I'll
build a bigger BJ Mk2.
Its main reason is to automate all the repetitive bits that I need to cut
out for my wood/ply aircraft (CJ1 Corby Starlet) (wing / Fuselage) gussets
instrument panel and anything I can fit onto the bed.
Oh and the odd model aircraft, also I plan to produce custom instrument
panels for homebuilt aircraft as a one off thing.
Mk1 is planned for about x axis of 750mm y axis of 400mm and z axis of
150mm hopefully.
Mk2 double the size.
I'll send some pics off list in the next day or so
Regards
Ben
