That looks pretty cool. I wonder if it can cut propellors for a wind turbine without me being a genius and knowing all the math needed for proper pitch, width, and length.
jedi cut
Just found this software,its FREE
Anybody try it ?
Just found that huge database of airfoil dats
Guess I need to make up my mind on the driver boards.( and toss together a cutter)
probably go with xylotex again ,but really don't want to spend that much.![]()

txcowdog the internet is a wonderfull place im sure if you google what your after something will come up.
I was hoppong for some star wars item to pop up with this one but free program can't go wrong there. I looked at there forum to see what other people were saying about it but its not in english is the program in a nother language too I wonder?
If you are not aware of it already, check out Fieldlines for some great homebrew turbine info...Originally Posted by txcowdog
Looks like the program lets you choose between a few languages, including English.Originally Posted by automizer

Nifty looking program...I wonder if it would work for milling out the wing profile from solid wood stock?

I used google translate in the forum ,
the programs settings seem to be in french and the measurments in mm.
But its Free ,and accepts the dat airfoil files
Which they also have airfoil dats for wind turbines here.dat list
Javadog sir,
Its a foam cutter unless perphaps you cobbled together a band saw across the towers ,or maybe ran your wire real hot(sorry)
Yes yes the net is a wonderful place . Stilllooking for a alternative to a xylotex 4 axis.
