Another Turner's Cube.

[Tweakie]

I don't have the necessary skills to make one of these on a lathe but with a CNC milling machine it is not difficult to do.

This was my first one but when friends saw it, their first words were "could you make one for me" - so I ended up making many more.

I would love one of those to put above my machines,,,make try harder. One day i WILL be able to make some thing useful instead of all the scrap i now produce....but the learning is fun....

One of the issues of digital machinist had the code for that as part of a down load.

Making these is not rocket science – Once you have a cube of aluminium, using the Mach3 Pocket Wizard - pockets are cut in all 6 sides with an end mill / slot drill, then another pocket in each side with a dovetail cutter to create the undercut and release the cube. It is only a few line of GCode and cubes within cubes can be made in exactly the same way. The only secret, if there is one, is to use an end stop on the machine vice.
