Exploring AltMill CNC BTS: 3D Carving of Dragon and Phoenix | Speeds, Settings, Materials & More!

That's amazing. Taking such deep cuts in one pass.

[@SienciLabs]

It was absolutely impressive for sure! It's a powerhouse!

[@jimsk9s]

Very excited to get my hands on one of these!

[@SienciLabs]

we're thrilled to hear that! 🙌

[@ifiwooddesigns]

So in love with that machine.

[@SienciLabs]

We're happy to hear that! We think it's pretty amazing too! 🙌

[@darrylcameron8965]

Can't wait to get an AltMill! Was just about to get a LongMill but I have to wait for this now.

[@SienciLabs]

Or both! 🤷‍♂️😂

@@SienciLabs I wish my wallet was big enough ;)

[@stuartgrimm6048]

Geez Andy. Couldn’t find a bigger adjustable wrench to tighten the collet with? You must have been struggling with that tiny one. 😅

[@SienciLabs]

we did have a bigger one, but it just seemed overkill 😉😝

[@about2acres824]

Would be cool to take that and make a table out of it by framing it and pouring epoxy.

[@SienciLabs]

🤔...Got us thinking now

[@alassafcam]

Magnificent work

[@SienciLabs]

Well thank you ☺️

[@Parker992001]

Why no roughing pass?

[@drkline69]

Very nice but I would have gone with a much smaller stepover to reduce the bit lines. Would take longer but would end up with a much smoother finish and better detail.

[@silvansilva8939]

Sim, mas esse tamanho é mais fácil de lixar

[@BuckysCustoms]

A Thing of Beauty!

[@SienciLabs]

You got that right sir!

[@doughoiby8195]

Just an FYI... Stepover should be 0.029" for the Tapered Ball Nose. But very cool project!

[@SienciLabs]

Yup 🤦🏻‍♂️...Good catch. I (Scott) missed that one 🤦🏻‍♂️...

[@doughoiby8195]

@@SienciLabs No worries... Seemed like a quite large stepover for such a skinny but... Lol

[@2ninga]

That looks to be what he's running. On hardwood it should be a little tighter than that, even with that size carve. I wouldn't run the TBN any larger than 0.15mm unless it was a clearing tool path. If you're choosing to carve a masterpiece design, it's not worth cutting corners, ....just the cusps ;)

[@silvansilva8939]

Incrivel, que liquido é esse que foi despejado na arte ?

[@silvansilva8939]

Is that mineral oil that you applied to the art?

[@SienciLabs]

Correct!

[@JackInTheShop]

Bring your kids to work day. Cool.

[@SienciLabs]

Ya, every once in a while they tag along. She was a fantastic helper that day! 😊

[@MichaelBuilds]

OH MY GOD THATS BAD A*S!!!

[@SienciLabs]

It really is! Thanks Michael!

[@williamspencer5259]

Cool

[@TheMowogman]

Why are you using such a small surfacing bit

[@craigrholmes]

Maybe to show off? Haha

[@SienciLabs]

Because Andy crashed the big surfacing bit and bent the shaft of the tool 😥

[@DrBrian0450]

That's imressive!!

[@SienciLabs]

we think so too! Thanks for watching!

[@shaunm2208]

Want one here in thailand

[@SienciLabs]

We can ship one there!
