Model/cut path/code needed.

[Garp]

Hi, I am not sure if this is the proper area or method to ask, so forgive me if I am not doing this correctly. I am in need of the coding in order to cut 1911 pistol grips on my little desktop mill. I normally just hand hash my gcode in note pad but Ive only done 2d cuts before. If you can assist with creating the full code needed to make a little mill cut a set of 3d little pistol grips, I have some money to spend. I'm SURE the model exists out there, but my googling isn't finding it and I hate just to beg someone to give me one they are clearly using for commercial purposes.

Do you have some elctronic drawing of what you want?

[bostosh]

Garp, If these grips are contoured for a hand and must fit the metal precisely, this may not be as easy as doing 2d.
how about minimum a picture of your requirement?

Hi,

I dont have an electronic drawing, but I have a pictures of what's involved, and have spare sets laying around. I bet I could google up an official diagram when I get a break at work

Hi, They aren't contoured. I have a mechanical duplicator/pantograph I used for that.

well, With a little digging I found these, I have the PDF so it can be zoomed in. Right now I have the gcode to cut the bushing holes and the counterbores on the front and back. Here's what I would like to get, in order of desire:
1-File to cut the outline
2-File to cut the outline and the outer contour
3- Additional files ( these would be a nice to have, not a need to have) to cut the checkering.

Garp,
I sent you a PM.

Looks like we might have the outline covered... Anyone else interested in helping out with the contour or checkering?

[beekeeper]

your going to need a 4th axis to be able to machine the checkering and make it come out right

[bostosh]

I can do the contour and checkering cad model. and generate cutter path for 5axis engraver. who has the machine? Wood? black walnut? ebony? plastics?

From the viewing of the print,
someone already has the 3-D model, where is that file?

[Garp]

The checkering is a nice-to-have but my little benchtop wont do it, oh well.
