--- Quote from: awemawson on November 25, 2014, 04:23:56 PM ---A bit more experimenting this evening, and I've reduced the G code of the logo from about 1500 lines down to 235 This has let me download it to the TNC355 Heidenhain controller and cut a test engraving, which has come out acceptably. Thanks Phil --- End quote --- Looking good Andrew. I'm surprised that it translated into 1500 lines of code. Did it turn all the rads into a series of flats? About 20 years ago I created some code so that our toolroom could engrave serial numbers using their CNC mills. They would CNC incredibly precise microwave components and then have to engrave them on a benchtop Taylor Hobson pantograph engraver. This made the engraver redundant and it ended up in my workshop. Cheers. Phil. |

Phil, the first attempt was removing all the material bounded by the letter outline, whereas the second was a simple line outline. |
| awemawson:
So today I churned out four cheeks on the cnc milling machine |
| awemawson:
Each had to have one side (it's inside) tapered to help guide the wire. This was done on the manual lathe |

So then it was a case of a trial assembly, then gluing them together |
