    Re: CNC egg shell carving

    I must say again, that is very impressive. Far above my current skill level without a doubt.

    Do you use a different machine for the probing, or mount the mechanical probe directly in the machine?

    Thanks for posting all these great pictures, the extra explanations are just icing on the cake.

    Hi John,
    I mount the mechanical probe directly in the machine.
    And after the scanning, I replace the probe with the spindle.
    As the depth control is crucial, it is not OK to scan the egg profile in other machine.

    Regards

    You say you scan the surface of the egg, do you mean just one horizontal line scan, or do you do one horizontal scan then rotate X amount and make another horizontal scan so that you scan the countour of the entire area to be cut?

    I really appreciate your design and work, a true artist .
