Hi,
I’m so glad to see the forum back. I cannot say how much I have learned from the folks here over the years. Been retired for 2 years now, but just prior to retiring I started to build a DIY CNC in my basement. Not a big one but an X,Y,Z of 20 X 10 X 7in.
Back in 1980 I bought a house, a burned out brick shell of a house, built in 1880. It was missing the front doors. So around 1997 I designed up a pair of doors in CAD (2D Microstation) and then modeled them in Solidworks around 2005.
All the time with the intention of fabricating them myself, but not knowing how I was going to make the curved fancy moldings I wanted them to have.
But I realized after getting my CNC up & running I could just use Solidworks CAM to program contour.
And then use the HawkRidge postprocesser to get the NC code for Mach4.
So many, many learning hours later & quite a few YouTube videos and trial & error I got the machine to cut the curved moldings.
I also used Solidworks to design the cutters for a 3 head molding cutter to fab the straight sections.
So I have the house now almost restored the 1880 period with the exception of the front doors…
But that is coming soon.
Meanwhile I just wanted to thank all of you for your very informative postings & help.
