Sorry I'm new, but what is the easiest way to machine the top and bottom of a piece of aluminum bar without a 4th axis? Is there any tricks to this?
Another question I have is when your material is larger than the work that is going to be made, what is the best way to cut the object out of the material without damaging the works with it moving around after its cut?
(i.e. I have a 12"x6"x1" block of aluminum and in the center I am going to cut out a box that is 6"x3"x1". After you cut out the perimeter the part can move around and get damaged, so how do you eliminate this problem?)
