Hey Ed! I'm in much the same boat, only I want top carve and neck carve stuff
Hi!
I'm a luthier and I'm very new to cad/cam. I built my own wood router and it seems to run very well. I'm still getting my feet wet with Rhino so I haven't been able to design any guitar parts with it. I just wanted to see if there are any other luthiers out there that might be willing to share some guitar related g-gode? I am primarily a classical builder and some day I hope to be able to write code that would be able to cut out my venetian cut-away soundboard design along with the soundhole and rosette trough all in one cut. Right now I'm trying to design a classical bridge in Rhino.
If anyone has anything related to luthierie I would be very greatfull.
Ed.

I´m too...
i may not be following what you are asking, basically what you do is draw it in cad and then use cam software to generate the code...if i was to just give you the code,each nc processor has its own parameters so you have to make sure it can read the code...if you have a drawing i can generate the basic code for you, but we would have to talk a lot of specifics
With a suppllied model i would help anyone with some nc code. You would be responsable for an accurate model, tool list and material dimensions.
I will supply accurate code, you would need to add prep codes, tool change, misc codes based on your machine. The tool path itself will be std code.
If Fanuc / Okuma mill - no problem.
All in fun.
I have offered before but no takers.
I use SW 2005-2009 and all Esprit Packages ( mill, turn, mill/turn, 5 axis, grind and robot, not edm yet ), std and mold.
Thanks
Trainhound,
i am a machinist doing guitars. Good to meet real luthiers...
If you get a cad model can you do the gcode? if you get gcode can you make parts?
Tell us more of your experience and the final goal,
Attached some gcode. What now?
Thanks,
Or just buy a body pre-cut from a guitar shop. cheap and easy to do.
Been doing this too long
VG custom, need the tele body route?, no problem. just a bunch of questions you need to be asked .
