Hi Rudy,


You might be thinking of the A axis on a CNC milling machine,
which CAD jewelers use for cutting rings and two sided parts.

The rotary "A" axis on my milling machine has a 4-jaw chuck that holds the material.
It's set up in the CAM software so that that when the front side is done,
the software automatically turns the rotary 180 degrees and then the the art work on the back is carved.

Dear Jesse,
Thank you for adding things that are actually for me learning tools.
Little by little I am getting there.
I am trying to figure out the mill operations as well, if it is worth to get one to start or just send the STL file to a RP company and have my resins done, what about mistakes....I do not want that the company will charge me for a resin that is not correct....all these kind of questions in my head....plus learning to design in MOI (because I really think I love it, more than Rhino....MOI is simpler and very intuitive...I am trying to figure out how it thinks....little by little....

Also because I do not have to forget to earn my daily dough

Thank you,
Rudy
Enjoying your tutorials as well!

Hi Rudy,

You're welcome. I got a lot of help when I started and there is always more to learn,
so by sharing what I know, it's like putting something back into the bank
then....when I need to learn something new, I won't have to take out another loan. :-)

As you say, learning to design with MoI is definitely easier than Rhino, and yet, it
can still take time to learn to design with a computer if you've never done it before.

I can understand your concerns about paying for prototypes that aren't correct.
One of the good things about having a mill is it gives you the opportunity to make a lot of mistakes ;)
-but also to practice your skills....

Here is a quotation that a friend of mine often uses-

"Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new.
An expert is a man that has made all mistakes possible in a narrow
field of expertise".
Albert Einstein


With a mill, you can go from an idea in your mind to a model in your hand in less than an hour.
Then if you want to make changes, all it has cost you is a little time and and some wax, which is cheap.

Well anyway, one thing at a time...when your ready to have a model made, you can post it
on the forum or email it to one of the jewelers on here so you can get another perspective on whether it's a workable model.

Dear Jesse,
Your help and suggestions are always very valuable and very supportive.
I was not working with MOI for a couple of weeks....so now I am posting my things to understand how they work.

Thank you for the offer....yes, I will post something when it is going to be the time for the real thing, but I think there is going to be time before that point.

Thank you very much,
Rudy
