Machining a critical component in a small all titanium sculpture.
This is one of the last stages in the process of CNC machining components for an all titanium sculpture I just finished making. The 4th Axis really helped speed it up quite a bit, but since there are eighteen facets, twelve of which require threads, it still required a bunch of 3 axis ops in a vise to complete all the threaded and pin locating holes that will be used for mating the other components to it. The part is grade 5 titanium with twelve M4x.7 threads and twenty-four 1mm press fit dowel pin holes. More to come.
