I've been thinking about an idea for a while and I finally made my first attempt at it. I wanted to create a common Indian graphic design in aluminum for a mixed media "artsy" project that I have in mind. So yesterday I stopped by my metal supply house and bought a remnant of 3 1/2" 6061 tubing. I got home and cut off a 1/2" loop on my HF horizontal band saw (accuracy +/- .015"), trued both sides on my lathe, deburred and mounted it on my rotary table. I calculated the width and depth that I could get with my 45* spotting mill bit w/o breaking through the backside and here's what I got.
I'll post more pics as I continue with the next phase(s) of this project.
DRO's and Rotary Tables ROCK! :thumbzup:
