Reindeer

... Christmas tree .... Reindeer .... :whistle:

... I assume that the Christmas Holiday production has started!

Nice!!! 🙂

P.s.: Is that the first one of a herd?

I think the next Projekt is a Mercedes A- Class 😉 😆 😆 😆

I guess you are right! Just to be on the same page - is this a "Mercedes A" ... classic car? :pinch: :pinch: :pinch:

This reindeer is one of two, the other reindeer will be sitting.

Will post pics.

Again: Nice!!! Thanks for showing us!

What is the overall measurement of the Reindeer's and how much time will it take to be milled?

I have visit your website - any plans to use the Stepcraft instead/additional or in combine for your Pyrography Art?

Reindeer (sitting)
95 mm high
135 mm wide
23 mm thick
23 passes at 1 mm 500 mm/min
Estimated time 28 mins

Reindeer (standing)
130 mm high
135 mm wide
Slightly longer for the other reindeer.

Thanks for checking out my website
And yes I plan to create something that combines pyrography and Stepcraft work.

Please keep us posted! 😉

nice job!
thanks for the post

Super stuff. What cutter did you use?

Reindeer milled using:

Stepcraft 420
Proxxon IBS/E spindle
3mm carbide cutter
12000 rpm
500 mm/min feed
100 mm/min plunge
Cut depth 1 mm

...

Super stuff. What cutter did you use?

I used one of my own cutters "3mm carbide" as the ones that you get with the Stepcraft cnc machine didn't fit the bill.
The cutting area wasn't deep enough to go through the job.

Cheers.

Ian - super - can you post where you got it and post a picture of the tool? The standard cutters are limited to 10-15mm deep.

The cutting depths is a common question with the STEPCRAFT system.

As I'm sure you found out - cutting that deep needs TLC and you need to be careful with your parameters.

Cheers

The slot drill was bought years ago, can't remember where I got it from.

3mm carbide cutter.

Used to mill both reindeer.

Was expecting a slight bit of rubbing when it got just over the flute but managed ok, the cut was clean and didn't require any sanding etc. Came out really well as you can see from the pics.
