Title: Side Projects.. Foam cutter and Vacuum Chamber
Post by: Jammerm on May 03, 2009, 01:06:09 AM
A couple of side projects I've been working on..

One is a hotwire foam cutter. I think this works well enough that I may be able to put an attachment on my CNC machine when it's finished.
A bad video from Youtoob! :P

Second project is a Vacuum Chamber to de-gas RTV silcone for making molds to do wax patterns for Lost Wax Casting in Aluminum and Brass.

I got enough Vacuum to boil water at room temp.
