Cutting Aluminum Booms

KRMx02 Making Aluminum Booms

I needed to reduce the weight of three aluminum booms for a Y6 Hex-copter I am working on. The booms are made from 1" square aluminum stock. The plan is to remove some of the material from the boom by cutting slits and holes into the sides and top. This would will reduce the weight while still keeping the structural rigidity of the square tube. . . .

CNC Part Creation Workflow

New to CNC these examples may help

In this project, I am going to take you step-by-step through the processes I use creating a part on my CNC. I will start with a idea take it from the drawing stage all the way thorough to the completed part. Even if you don't need this part, I recommend you follow along and actually create the part with me as I take you through the process. . . .

AirExchanger

Kronos Robotics AirExchanger

I am dust crazy. I go to all lengths to keep dust out of my shop. I have a monster central cyclone system and several high end shop vacuums, many with there own small cyclones as well.

The AirExchanger allows you to push the router cooling exhaust air out the sides without affecting the air inside your dust shoe. This allows for a smaller more efficient shoe.

The AirExchanger It took me almost a year to develop and I hove one installed on all my machines. . . .
