Default Making wood propellers

Hi guys

Your right George... It sure is! Except when your driving in the car for hours trying to get somewhere.... GRIN!!

Andrew,

Your right, Guelph is about 30 min from Acton. I do much the same thing you do... Woodworking for a living. The beauty of the CNC, is that I can do other things while the machine is running on its own.

George is correct. I have a CNC multi head CNT router. I too use CAD software and a digitizer to create my drawings, and then toolpath software to create the tool paths for each prop size. It has been a real learning experince for me! I had never used CNC previously. But once you understand how things work, its great!

I should add too, that all of this wonderful technology does come at a price... A BIG one!.... $$$$$$$$$$
