Re: Sterling Dump
Okay boys and girls....miniature end mills came in mail tonight so of course I had to stay up til 2 a.m. messing around with CAD/CAM files and doing some milling. Gonna be a long day at work tomorrow!
Worked out pretty good except for wierd glitch in a couple spots. Might have to figure that out someday. Should look pretty sweet after she's polished! Ready to try the do-over on the main grill now... Taig at work... New lower grill dry fit in place... |

Re: Sterling Dump
This is some very nice work for just starting out. I know you spend more time setting things up then it actually takes to run them. Keep up the good work. Ed

Re: Sterling Dump
I am glad to see someone taking something and making it into something else, instead of just badging it the other brand. Great work!

Re: Sterling Dump
Thanks guys. I'm just having way too much fun with this. VERY gratifying to finally be producing parts. Lot of ideas in my head almost within reach now.
For the machinist...found my glitch that had the T, R and N buggered up. VisualMill has a ramp-in and ramp-out feature for pocket milling (guess it saves wear and tear on end mills vs. plunging). Would seem they have a bug in the program because it was ramping in (or out, not sure which) and clipping the edge off some of the letters. I changed to 90 deg ramp angle (basically vertical plunge) and nice clean lines now! Job ran a good bit faster w/ out the ramping too. Pic below. Izzy - I cranked out a couple of the bottom grill after work. Hand worked stuff was pretty repeatable so looking good for making at least a small batch of these. |

Re: Sterling Dump
Now that's even more impressive !!! Nice sharp, clean edges on the lettering really makes a difference.
