Hey guys,
This is my first post, so be gentle
I dont know a lot about machining so i need some advice please.
I have a block of metal (aluminum) i want to have cut down to some exact specs. It will includes very detailed scrollwork (etchings).
I am unsure how to do this. I called a waterjet company and he said they could only make straight cuts and not do any engravings with it. He said to use a saw then polish it down. Then maybe have a laser for engraving? Is this correct?
I am trying to make a prototype of thehead part Thor movie hammer. I will be through with the 3D Cad file today with all the specs. I am attaching a few photos to give you an idea of what i am trying to do with an 8.5"x5.5"x5" block. It already has basic dimensions of what i want. One of the photos show detail work on side engraving.
Thanks for any assistance.
