Rhino for my CAD work and Visual Mill 6.0 Pro for my CAM work. I have and use a mess of other software. The right tools for the right job sort of thing!Originally Posted by Brandon MacDougall
Also, not my violin. This is for a new customer. I bid the job last year and was outbid by a company in Canada, the job came up again this year, I bid again and got the job.

Thinking outside the box is one thing, being able to accomplish what you think of, is another.

Hi Guy,
I would love to qet a idea of how this project is going.
I hoping my questions did not demo this thread, I am not realy into solid body construction that your showing but would like to get a better understanding of farming out this type of work to people like yourself...

No, the questions did not demo the thread! LOL! The customer recieved the sample and was quite pleased. However, between my quest for perfection and his desire to have the neck more slender to enable him to finish the piece quicker I am changing milling strategies to accomadate this. When I program, I use any milling strategy that is available to me to get the products off the machine so that the end result means less finish time. Sometimes this means running more then one sample to tune the code.Hi Guy,

Machine time is always important, but for this machine I always divide machine time numbers by 10 and try to find an optimum time that will balance machine and hand finishing so customers do not have to spend more time then needed to finish a product.
