it wasn’t working right so we openned it up to have a go at fixing it and it turned out to only need some dust cleared out from one of the supports. Now it has been milling for the last 24 hours.

Today I added on a light and a vacuum system. The light’s the round thing with the hole: on the far side are 6 200lm LED’s, with the intent being to put a lens in the hole. The vacuum system attaches to the shopvac by vacuum force: loose connection that the shopvac maintains, but the tube falls off when the vac turns off. Both the light and the vac can be controlled by the CNC controller.

CNC x Continuous Surface

Double sided CNC milled MDF board.

Each floor is the same model but turned upside down on every other level, providing two types of space with one mold. The unit can also be linked at its sides to expand both vertically and horizontally.

The overall form is a continuous surface. The 2.5mm thickness of the walls/floors show how efficient the surface acts in transferring loads (surface active structures) while staying lightweight. (personally i’m very happy with this model because it feels so sturdy yet so light!)

on cut V above, one-third of the land from the cuttingedge has concentric relief. The remainingtwo-thirds is eccentrically relieved. A tapmade in this way can be ground for sharpen-ing at the only correct point—on the face ofthe cutting edge. Sharpening in no wayaffects its size or the form of the thread. The Taper Tap has a cylindrical pilot and on the cham-fered portion of the tap the top of the thread is relievedclear to the cutting edge to secure keen cutting qualities. The construction of Pratt & Whitney Taps not onlyinsures greater accuracy and refinement than has here-tofore been possible to obtain in a commercial tool, butalso insures the freest cutting tap with the longest life—an exclusive P. & W.
