Now I am onto CAM. This is going to be an interesting procedure, as the CNC machine doesn't have a tool changer, so it is important to order the processes flow so it is easy to keep the zero. I think we will use the 1/2" to dig out the backplane( the black and blue blade swoosh) and then use the 1/16th engraver to write the text and cut out the stars. after that, we will use the long 1/4" ball nose to get the detail on the blade and the hands and the two planets. this is going to take a lot of machine time, but i think it will be epic. we are shooting to have it done for next weekend. Now we just need a place to show it. I'm sure we will find somewhere to take in this little bit of awesomeness.
