manike do you have access to a wire edm? I have some stuff I'm working on that would pretty much require it.

[manike]

hhm not really. What are you trying to do? Thin sharp detail?

Cutouts with high detail over the power chamber. Wire edm would be prefect, but if I lover the detail a bit it would be millable. I'm just wondering so I can get the angle right. I was thinking of mirroring and making the cut through the center axis (trivial on a wire edm). Instead I'll make the cuts from the side straight on, which will be easier for a mill.

The jig I am designing will allow us to mill the bodies from above as well, not just both sides.

How about instead of designs being milled into the body of a mag, they be lazer ingraved?

This may not get rid of much weight but I suppose the designs could be a lot more intricate and detailed. Maybe a combination of the two would mean lightweight nice designs.

Sorry to bring up an OLD thread.

I had a project going that requred drawing up an Xmag. Project was cancelled and so I stopped.

Heres a Xmag drawn up in pro/e. Its rough, not everything is perfect and the demensions are off, but the ratio is there. Oh yeh... And a few hadn't gotten to a few things, like the angled cut on the front lower section.

Just thought I'd post it incase anyone needs it for anything.

If AGD cares, feel free to take it down, although I dont see why you would.

BTW, the main hole is small because I was just using it as an axis and was going to take the specs off a slug for the insides.

Hm, wasn't thinking... file type isn't supported. If you want it email me, [email protected] or I'll see about zipping it.

.prt but can export to others

Simon;

You could get the sharp jagged cuts on that one design if you used a wire-edm machine. I know it's another opration, and a pain, but the design isn't out of the question.
