5 Axis router movie....Really worth a look.

[Splint]

This would have to be the best video of a 5 axis router in marine application I've seen to date.

Yes splint that was an impressive video.
The goo that they put on, and then milled off is a good idea. It would take 10 years to route out that whole area out of a solid. Not to mention the waste and expense of such a solid.
Thanks for sharing the video of your machine.

OMG! On that aluminum video, I could just see that piece of drop off taking a finger with it. Not a very bright person with the spray bottle!

Did you notice the side of the head that the dust flys(during the sander?)? You can definately tell which way it goes.

Yeah, that was pretty interesting - wasn't it? I wonder what that good was? Were they just making a mold for fiberglass?

Here's a link to the Goo;
http://www.huntsman.com/renshape/index.cfm?PageID=4729

It's called seamless modeling paste. I use the solid renshape for my modeling work at my day job. This paste is basically the same stuff, but is applied like putty and then sets up on the part. You can put this stuff on any cheap material, but then have a skin of very high quality. The renshape is really tremendous stuff. No air pockets, machines like a dream, but costs an arm and both legs. The company bought 2 sheets to build a larger scale model. 20"x50", one sheet 2 " thick, and one sheet 4" thick. I think the total bill was just over $900. But, our overhead is $100 an hour and if you can reduce sanding and machining time by just a couple of hours it is easily worth the cost. Just glad I don't have to pay for it myself!!!
