I am in the process of building a sound deadening box for my little CNC mill. Once completed and if the box works as I hope it does I can start milling some stuff again. This project is #2 on the list of things to mill, but it also need the most design work. Below is a pic of my first drawing. As I change things I will update. Right now the pins will remain 1/8" x 1/8" and the channels in between the pins will remain 1/8". I would like to go 1/16" but I am not for a couple reasons;
1) Much less mill time. (A little more important than performance at the moment)
2) Mill isn't fast enough for 1/16" and it also has a little to much slop in the table.
3) Higher flow rate. (most important)
Anyway this is version .01. Each whole number (1, 2, 3) will be a working prototype. Each non whole number will be a paper prototype. At least that's how I have it planned.
My goal is to get the same performance (if not better) than
Lemon Block Cu 1 but also cut down on milling time. I already have some mods in mind. I also need to figure out the bolt pattern to hold the top on... Also next drawing will be in ACAD. This one is Corel Draw 9.
