As mold-making seems to be one of the current threads, I have a few
questions regarding CNC routers for making molds that, for the sake of
curiousity, I would appreciate answers to if anyone knows... please! Please
assume, correctly, that I know very little.
Is a 3 or 5 axis CNC router used to mill wing molds?
What is considered acceptable accuracy in the mold? .5, 1, 1.5, or 2
thousandths of an inch?
Are there any sites dealing with making a router?
I know of a few places detailing the making of CNC foam cutters, but none
for a router. For a router, the some points that elude me are a source for
the software and selection of a spindle motor. The cheapest suitable
commercial router I have found is a 3-axis one by www.easycut.com, at
$10,000.
Basically, I wish I was one of those people whose job gives them access to
such nifty equipment... *sigh*
Thank you for your time,
Aaron
