After a little trial and erroring I managed to make four perfect legs for the highboy.
Leared from previous experience and forgotten again :-)
Jigs is a must.
So a special jig was made for mounting legblanks in the milling machine and then the legs came out as I wanted them.
The blocks on the ends will be cut off when the mortices for drawerdividers and sidepanels has been cut, By keeping the blocks I have absolute control over locations.
Below is the same leg in three different scales.
Top down; 1/12, 1/24 and 1/48 scale.
Have fun
Niels
The legs look good Niels!
ReplyDeleteI see you are using the same milling machine (I think) I bought a few years ago to try milling with jigs on. So far I haven't been able to get it to work for me. I'll have to have another go.
Yes it is a Proxxon MF70 but it is heavily modified :-) You can see a little about my MF70 here http://unitaig.jalling.dk/index.php?id=100
ReplyDeleteCNC is just another form of jigs.
