Christmas CNC project
Using my little CNC machine I knocked up this little star to go on the top of our Christmas tree. It was cut from a piece of 2mm x 40mm aluminium stock using a 2 flute 1mm end mill. The pic above shows it still held in place in the stock by 2 small tabs I added to the outline toolpath.
Here’s the star popped out and given a bit of a polish.
Finally, it’s in place on the top of our tree.

I’m liking your projects a lot
They’re much more elegant than mine (wires and goodness knows what everyhwere).
But you have your own CNC machine! That’s just unfair!
