Hello!

I am getting some parts made by an inexperienced gibbs programmer. I am trying to gather information to help him with these parts, as they are different than what he is used to, which is 3D surfaces in hard foam. I have attached a clip of the parts.

One half I have designed a 'scaffold' around, and left at least .3 between parts and walls. The other half I have left blank to clarify the types of parts these are. I am not sure the scaffold is needed, depending on programming techniques?

These will be cut on an AXYZ Millenium Router, using 2-Flute 1/4" and 2-flute 1/8" endmills. The material is .375" 6061 aluminum. Hopefully my 37degree aluminum-specific endmills arrive in time, otherwise normal 2-flute end mills.

If possible I want to just use these 2 endmills, but I am open to using pilot holes and drilling all the different diameters with a drill press.

Ive posted a similar thread in MasterCAM forum, they have that also, but even less experience.Please help, ive got to get this sorted by wednesday.

Thank you

Robert
