Final/Machining Project

#ICON#

INTRODUCTION

For your final week 1 machining project you will demonstrate skills such as creating wireframe, creating a solid, and toolpathing a solid.

#ICON#

OBJECTIVES

- Create wireframe
- Create a solid model
- Create planes
- Demonstrate how to toolpath a solid using 2D & 3D toolpaths

#ICON#

INSTRUCTIONS

- All creation and toolpathing will be completed in Mastercam.
- Stock: 4.125 x 1.5 x 1.5
- All feeds and speeds are to be calculated appropriately using the Feeds & Speeds Guide Sheet below.
- All cutting tools used are to be coated carbide.

OP1

- Dynamic OptiRough (rough part to shape)
- Flowline (rough material of tops of the walls, all around)
- Pocket (finish pocket)
- Equal Scallop (surface R.03 all around)
  - In the video, it shows a 3/8 inch tool being used.  You can use a 1/4 inch tool in its place for the fillets around the part.

OP2

- Face (Flip part over to finish part to size)

Tools

- Tool 4: 3/8 carbide flat end mill
- Tool 5: 3/8 carbide bull-nosed end mill
  - Please note: Using this tool can leave a small section in the corner that won't get machined. You can use a 1/4 inch tool in its place for the fillets around the part.

Note |  | Save your work in Mastercam often. You don't want to lose hours worth of work if something goes wrong. |
