Hi everyone,
I'm in the process of teaching myself how to use CAD to design some small parts for radio controlled models in 3D. I don't have my mill yet, but at this stage I'll be getting a Syil X4 mill and will being using BobCAD for the CAM side of things and Mach3.
I finished drawing up my first part the other day and then I started thinking how I could hold a block of aluminum on the mill and machine the part out. I originally thought one side would be machined then the other. But then I couldn't visualise how the part would be held on the table. Perhaps there needs to be more steps?
What would be the best process of machining the attached part?
