For
those of you who are following the progress of the workshop, after
about a week of not making any measurable progress whatsoever, Josh and
Andrew programmed and machined the balance cock. What makes this
project special is that for the first time we are able to directly
transfer a machined component from the mill to EDM wire cutter and then
back to mill without loss of accuracy. In other words, you can use
Machine A, Machine B and then go back to Machine A all on the same
component. We are also able to prototype components of a thickness below
0.3 of a millimetre, which is the thickness of the balance wheel cock
at the point where it receives the incabloc jewel. Stay tuned for more
updates.
If
you missed the video we talked about last week that NYC CNC recorded
while setting up the workshop a few months ago, here is the link:
