Anyone tried multi-axis CNC to cut panels

Helpful hints on how to build 'em, and where to get the stuff you need.

Anyone tried multi-axis CNC to cut panels

#1 Post by Dazombiewoof »

Seems like using tactical nuke to kill an ant, but as a former manufacturing engineer dealing with 5 axis machines all the cuts I have seen to do the cabs ought to be executable. Seems the real driver would be you either would have to have such a machine hanging around with free time or you would have to be making mass quantities of BFM cabs.

Too expensive. WAAAAY too expensive. If we were running 50 or 100 cabs at a time it might be doable. Been researching this for quite a while. Even on a 3 axis hiring it done is too expensive, for a limited run.

I had my T48's CNC'd on a 3 axis unit...it was costly...but needed my cabs done in a week.

As I expected. Wonderful thing if you had 5 axis and even could do all the angles, but it is so expensive without major build volumes or I want it yesterday drivers that it just is not done.
