[QUOTE="Nena, post: 269493, member: 7861"] Hello Lefty & AtomRat, I know about the various grow of stones and changes in hardness in a single stone. This can give problems with cutting and polishing. You should try cutting it the other way on your lap. Or change the direction speed of your lap. I can recognise the problem with listen to the cutting sound. So thats why i want to build a microphone into the cutting head. AtomRat: No, i wont make a 3d scanner for cutting stones. It is a beautiful technique but it is too mutch work! For now, im going to build the machine first completely out of wood. There is no way i can mill the plates in aluminium until i make some cooling on my milling machine! Later this day ill post my aluminium test plate i made yesterday and you can see what problems i got without cooling the end mill/aluminium. Im now going to see if i got some good wood screws so that i can build it if it was aluminium. :) If i have done my milling machine i could mill all parts out of aluminium. Christian [/QUOTE]
