I don't do any work in 3D but I was contacted today about doing something and it looked simple enough so I figured I'd work on it a bit.
The goal is to route the following two files out of black walnut lumber. I ran it through Aspire and the roughing pass and finishing pass come up between 6-7 hours per arm. The roughing pass is with a regular end mill and the finishing pass with a 1/8" ball end mill. My guess is there has to be a more efficient way to route something like this.
Any tips or suggestions on how to attack this project efficiently yet still produce a quality product?
