Thread: CNC Mill work needed

Tweet

Hey all,

I have a .dxf file I need someone to cut for me. It is a simple oval badge that is flat with a bull nose and some .125 surface milling to be done. Check the below picture.

Can anyone here help me out?

go on the yellow bullet and post. i know there is guys with cnc machines that do small jobs the guys i know will not do small jobs

I emailed a few guys on there that I know can do it. Just haven't had any responses yet.

I have a CNC, but at only 3.375''x1.5'' it is too small for any cutter I would have. My CNC has a 4hp spindle on a 4'x8' table. The smallest bit I will use is a .125'' tappered bullnose. At that size, the tool paths would overlap & the lettering would be a mess. I have an engraver that would do detail that small, but I'm limited to engraving plastic with that machine. (You didn't say what substrate you wanted this cut into). To get tack sharp results on a tag that small you should be asking for a lazer engraver.

It would be cut from .250" 6061.

Call Hellman Performance in Texas is Keating Machine. Hopefully they're not too busy to do it for you.

I didn't even think of Laser. I have a friend that has done stuff for my firearms. He can't cut the emblem out though.

Would you be willing to cut just the oval out of .250 6061 and do a .250 radius bullnose edge on it? Also, the tooling marks in the letters wouldnt be that big of an issue as I will be filling the letters in with paint.
