Hi Guys,
Im just getting to know this awesome machine, I made a MPCNC with 500x500mm volume
I had a Dremel 395 laying around so i tried this first.
Last saturday i was wondering if i could mill some aluminium with the Dremel, turns out you can!
Here are some more pictures:
That’s so cool! Can you post your whole setup? I’d like to see the aluminum extrusion baseplate. Thats super cool.
Thanks!
I don’t have a clear picture of the machine.
The bed is made from 7 80x40mm Aluminium extrusion profiles, we use those a lot at work and these were leftovers.
i layed the extrusions on the sides and tapped the ends M8, then i usde 30x30 L profile to connect the profiles together.
Here is a render of the machine, i have yet to make the table frame though.
That’s really cool. It definitely gives off a more professional vibe to it.
Awe come on, the Mad Max on a budget vibe is still cool too, right?
I bet that plate does give a very easy surface to clamp too though, I agree, nice choice.
Haha yes of course. No ill will given towards the Mad Max but I should have said more industrial look.
So let me get this straight. You were just kicking around on a Saturday all “Hmmmm, aluminum? Hell, why not?” and proceed to churn out a functional, rather sharp-looking piece, because…well…just because?
And I’m over here on my 3 or 4th version of a spoilboard that might actually work.
I’m impressed he did it with a dremel!
Awesome work !
So i tried it again today with different settings and got the best results yet!
Also i cut the routing time in half! oke granted i used 5mm Alu instead of 6mm but still!
The 3d printed fan i mounted to the dremel toolhead works wonders for chip clearing!
Here are some settings i used and also a video of the finishing passes 
The finnish on the part could be better and i am still trying things to get a better part finnish
So my first thought when seeing the title was “Cool, did he use an Arduino to control the beer opener”, but it was just a hand operated mechanical contrivance. I’m sooo disappointed. 
Not sure why this popped up in my notifications just now, but hey the timing is good. Couple Saturdays ago I remembered this aluminum and said "hey why not? I need a bottle opener! " does double duty. Only took me 6 tries to get it right.
That is great, and needs to be in it’s own post.
Good idea
im interested in the fan is it your design?
They are on thingiverse.
