Guy's,
I get questions all the time about machining acrylic, and how I do different things. This is how I do overflow box teeth. I machine the profile out of some aluminum, and use a small router with a carbide spiral down cut bit, and a collar, pretty simple. I have about a dozen templates, different offsets, and debths, and gaps. I see so much laser cut parts out there, and while it sounds cool, they are pretty thin. I use 3/8" and 1/2" mostly. But I can cut up to 1" pretty easily. If I need teeth in anything thicker, I'll just head down to the Bridgport Milling Machine, and cut whatever I need as a one off part. Let me know what you think, J
