This video was AMAZING! TY!!! You showed the entire process from bit selection to set up etc. This was very informative and beautiful to watch. great work!
man.. that too deep in my heart affected me. I felt that I need to talk to you just to have so much explanation and so many questions on my main. Thank you for sharing this Video
Just amazin man!!! St.george is close to my heart coz I studied in st.georges grammar school and we carried that badge on our chest all the days of our school life. Wish you could make one for me.
This CNC machining center is truly awe-inspiring! It fully showcases the remarkable achievements of modern industrial technology. First and foremost, its precision machining capability is absolutely astonishing, capable of achieving complex part machining with micrometer-level accuracy, ensuring product quality and precision. Its high-speed machining capability is equally remarkable, allowing for the completion of numerous machining tasks in a short period, significantly enhancing production efficiency. Thank you for sharing!
Incredible seeing the quality you can get in metal with a machine that is more on the woodworking side of the CNC ecosystem. Only some, almost imperceptible, artifacts as evidence of this not being quite as rigid as a metalworking CNC. FANTASTIC job.
I was thinking if you sand blast the whole thing with a really fine grit you'll get a smooth finish, then you could polish the raised surfaces to a mirror sheen which would make it look incredible and accentuate the details in the engraving.
I don't think those are artefacts of a lack of rigidity, rather they're just the result of a lack of accuracy. Because the tooling is so small, and the engagement with the material so light, there's very little rigidity required to make something like this.
That is truly amazing. Stamps Plus is about to go into the metal stamp, emboss/deboss market and will certainly look at this machine too. Awesome video!!
Not sure what is the best about this video. Was it the Art? Was it the Programming? Was it the idea of combing both? All I know was it was friggen awesome!!!
That was an amazing work! Saint George of Cappadocia is a powerful entity here in Brazil and see he's image engraved on this medal brings good feelings! Congratulations for your very good work!
That is not Saint George, as you see it has the Ancient Hellenic meanders and the man is naked, thus it cannot be Christian, this is a more original figure. Vellerephontis was what inspired the Saint George myth. Perseus also did something similar. Horus was also in a similar position. This is in greek but you can see the images of the ancient myths and how christianity simply copied the myths. ellaniapili.blogspot.com/2017/07/blog-post_301.html
@@AlehandrosArhangelos Yes you are right! Looking slowly, I can see the naked details you mean... but at first glance I saw Saint George! And yes, you are right again about saying that other cultures have largerly copied Greek culture and that is why Greece is considered the birthplace of modern Western civilization. Thank you very much for explaining and sharing your knowledge!
I would like to see a close-up of a highly detailed area of the engraving at each stage of the process --- with enough magnification to see the roughness left by the last (0.2 mm) bit.
I'd also recommend moving on the x axes like you did, but changing to moving among y with the tool change. It's like coloring in both directions with crayons, it provides a more even topology.
Very precise job, such a great idea to color the part before you do the finish pass, you can see if it leaves a part untouched due to deformation or movement if vise gets loose from vibrations. Btw. can you share a link to that vise.
This would be a great way to re-create the engraved pieces in some of the Buddhist temples that need restoring. If it could machine jade pieces then you'd have them covered.😁👍
Good old ArtCAM. Too bad Autodesk bought and killed it. I was able to revive a Copy of PRO with their help though. Nothing else like it out there for organic design...I have a shop near Orlando where we take on this type of work. Lotasa hours in the seat making these type designs. My hats off to you.
You are right, I used and reselled ArtCAM since version 1.1, there was no vector design yet that time! (I think since 1994-95). Like part of my life :)
@@the_jcbone Yeah I know. It probably took over a day total, but even so, for this quality it would probably take any other machine i've seen at least twice as long
This is a really detailed high relief design for St. George slaying the dragon. Where did you get it? I've searched images online but nothing is so nice looking.

Hi. What an amazing piece of work you have there and your shop as well. How would you make the engraving drawing like that? Where did the guy you bought it from learn to do that? Which software?
I would like to know too. I’m just getting into cnc and I’m trying to machine out small letters using small v bits like you did. How long were the passes?
