Here is a quick pic of my first project using Aspire. I had some help with the original file from Angus Hines, he jumped in to help me get the file ready to go because I have to get this project ready to ship to the Middle East ASAP.
The eagle has a rabbit machined on the back so we can inset it into a plaque designed for the American Flag box we are shipping to Afghanistan. It's about 7.5" in diameter, 1/2" thick Cameo White Corian which machined like a dream. I used a 1/4" ball nose for roughing and a 1/8" ball nose cutter for the finish pass.
Our flag box is made from cherry and so is the matching plaque we are making. I should be able to finish machining the plaque Saturday, then both pieces will be stained and finished. The last item is a laser engraved inset to put on the plaque with the dedication and information about the flag which flew over the historic Yorktown Battlefield.
I hope to have this project finished by Sunday evening so we can build the shipping box Monday morning. Pictures of the finished project are forthcoming
