Cedar Capital

[bob_dodd]

I cut this cedar capital this past weekend , on my newly assembled Rikon lathe / indexer , Its 6" square & 5" tall , rough cut 3/8" end mill about 45 min , finish pass 1Hr. 55 min Taper 1/8" ball nose , I used Artcam for the unwrapping & toolpaths

Nice work! I really like this.

Very cool bob but i want to see your indexer setup too.

Excellent Bob! It looks like that Rikon is working good for you.

Did you make the 3D model yourself with Artcam or did you purchase?

Exelent work bob..I really love to watch such neat stuff especially Rotary stuff.. you can write a tutorial for rest of us about unwrapping and making rotary toolpaths...

Keep us guessing how you did it

Looks fantastic

WOW! That is great! I have avoided getting an indexer, but things like this really make me want to go for it! Nice job!

How much time do you think you'll put into sanding to finish this one out? Any major changes you think are warranted? How do you rate your experience on this?

Thanks
Monty

Thanks all for all the kind complements. I did this indexer turning to test the Rikon lathe / indexer , which I'm very happy with the results.
Jack I posted some pictures in the indexer section under topic Indexer under $1000.
Brad no I did not make the model
Khalid maybe someday a tutorial
Monty There is about an hour of sanding , I would change how I machine the 4 corners to get more detail
