Thanks yenned

a couple of the brass cube are real hard to do, you have to hold with jigs and every step has it's own jig and you c'ant have parts moving around while you are machining another part .if you want to see a person do this kind of work google (robert bosco) a master of ornametal turning ,and should be a site visited by all who a facinated by complex turning he shows how it is done.if you want to ask Brian Barker and Art i sent them a small sample for the help they gave me in programming .

Hello Brett

to make the tool took me 2 hours the first time i made it of hss when i tried it on turning blackwood it only lasted to cut 3 faces before it became blunt i had to replace it with a carbide one wich took me another 3 hours the tool is only .050 wide and .500 long all tools are hand ground with diamond grinding wheels . And that is only one tool , the other on made in carbide is more complicated being l shaped the tip of the tool is only .079 wide while the body is .040 . Hope this helps. to turn a face takes about 59 seconds with mach 3 so total machining time 12 minutes and still that does not account for all the special jigs needed to hold and mark the positions of the faces.

Hello Art

sometimes it is more difficult to make the tools than the cube . when you want to make a cube you have to think of only one step at the time, not the whole cube, just a step and what tool it's need.
