Cutting Brass sheet
Posted: 05 Feb 2016, 15:49
As some of you will know, I am a clog wearer. The front of my clogs have a "toe tin" which protects the wood and the leather from being abraded, particularly if I kneel down, searching for things I have dropped in the the space time warp called a workshop floor.
This is a clog, named after me that is my first choice of footwear, see my clog maker here.
While they are called a tin they are made of sheet brass, about 0.5mm thick. They are in short supply as the wearing of clogs is not what it use to be, so I thought I might have a go at producing a few. I figured that it would be a nice job for a small CNC machine and a quick look on eBay found this:
Here is the listing, it does not list metal as a material it can machine, but I cannot think of reason why it should not work, can any of you?
I thought once I had the machine it could also be used to machine wood, adding names or inlays on boxes, but the first use would be cutting toe tins.
