Thanks for the reply.
This is an intermediate drawing,(fianl is on another machine) the final product has radii inside those areas, so no broaching required, and the outside wall thickness of the large opening is thicker, so that fixes those probs hopefully.
I should have mentioned it will be out of aluminium, total length is approx 190mm from memory.
I drive machines manually, just not by CNC yet and that is about how envisioned doing it - thanks
What I'm lookig for I spose, is opinions on whats going to make itemslike this easier to program paths for.
Solidcam is very good, but is there something thats going to make that side of the job easier, or is it a suck it up and learn it down pat?
Should I be focused on doing as much in 1 operation as possible, or just getting it done in more smaller ones?
Thanks for your reply again
Matt
