I first finished facing the cube to 1x1x1in, then I moved setting up the machine for making the pockets in the cube. To do that I first found the correct bit for making the pockets, then I set up the offsets in the Milling Machine. Once I had finished that I started to make the GCODE on the milling machine, having it drill one pocket 0. https://josephscottcampbell.com/posts/week-review-9-5-22/ Sat, 10 Sep 2022 19:39:10 -0400 https://josephscottcampbell.com/posts/week-review-9-5-22/ I spent the majority of this week working in the machine shop, learning how to use the milling machines from Mr. L with Clark Barayuga, Grace Kallberg, and Jacklyn Whealan. Before we could begin to use the milling machines Clark and I replaced all of the vice jaws, and made the vice’s reference edges straight within 5/1000 of an inch along the length of the vice. We did this by repeatedly measuring the change in the Y-Axis while moving a Haimer 3D-Sensor along the X-Axis of the reference edge, then adjusting the vice with a mallet until the change in the Y-Axis was within our margin of error.
