Winston shows us his darkside

[WillAdams (William Adams (Carbide 3D))]

I will note that we had a prototype 4-sided frame posted ages ago:

4 Sided Flip Frame Prototype

This is a design I made using Carbide Create for a 4 sided Jig that fits in the Carbide 3D Low profile vise channel, and allows 4 sided rotation. This design allows for a 3.25" long and 1.6" round part to be machined on 4 sides. [image] The Set screws that hold the stock conveniently sit inside the middle channel so if they stick out there is clearance. I have include the Carbide Create file below. Materials used: 2" x 2"x 5" aluminum tube with 3/16th walls. M6 Set screws 10mm- 16mm 1/8…

It’s looking like adding hardware to my coopered box:

Design into 3D: Boxes: Coopered boxes

One distinctive form of box is the traditional steamer trunk or chest with a coopered lid, often depicted as a pirate’s treasure chest: [image] It should be possible to model one programmatically, and to then cut out the parts for the lid using Carbide Create Pro’s 3D modeling (or by using a V endmill of an appropriate angle — anyone know of a source for V endmills of arbitrary angles? Not just the 15, 30, 45, 60, 90, and 120 typically available?) …

might require something like that.
