I am trying to find out if anyone is building drum shells with their cnc machines,especially the stave type drum shell.
Love to see some pictures of the machines and any special jigs you have made or are using.

Hey,
I tried shells, but gave up after weeks of brain damage. The staves are easily made on the table saw w/ proper bevel geometry figured out. I went back to buying my shells from Keller. Focusing on the veneering and custom hardware to make them more sassy. Google coopering, and you'll surely find info that you seek.

Take a peek at a developing site, workshop/laptop/workshop never enough time!

My drummer is working on peavey style shells. He has access to a high end shop to do the cnc routering (his father in law). A friend of ours from another cnc shop is building custom hardware for him. I will try to get him to post some pics.

Here's some shells that I'm making. The rig I'm turning them with isn't CNC, but hopefully will be in the near future. I'd like to be able to do carvings, drill holes, integrate lugs, etc...I just cut the staves on the tablesaw and jointer.

Hello, I'm new here but it seems to me that with drums you may be reinventing the wheel. The big issue is the depth of the drum shell and getting the head down into the shell. I'm not knowledgeable but most cnc machines that I have seen only cut an inch or so..but then I'm new to this. Maybe bu a Hauss MAchine...just jpking! You know they are 100s of thousands. Then you have to look at how many hundreds of drum builders out there all doing the same stuff.
