We have zero CNC machine experience, and I don’t really have the time to learn right now, so I have two “tasks” to give away, and I’m willing to pay. This applies to the 883 Pro that is heading our way:
Task #1 is to build a jig that will hold 10 identical finished parts. This jig will be 8" by 8" and is to be mounted on the 883’s table. If you have an 883 you should be able to machine the jig.
Task #2 is to create a CAM file that will cut a slot into each of the 10 parts that are loaded into the jig. Each part gets one slot, and the slots are identical.
@bdl99 & @memotronics — if you want to provide a sample file, send it to me via e-mail at willadams@aol.com — make certain that it’s something which you don’t mind being public, and I’ll work up whichever one arrives in my e-mail first.
There are two ways to go about this, one in a CAM program, the other by stitching together a G-code file w/ some move and re-zeroing instructions. I could do both.
Thanks for the offer. My parts are something that I would rather keep from being too public. I was hoping more to be able to follow along. I have been playing with Carbide Create with some advice from Apollo and about ready to take the plunge and order a 883 pro.
