Well, unfortunately I haven't been able to do very much over the past week. I wanted to talk to Mr. Breigle about the CNC Mill and coolants and such like I said I was going to last week, but it turned out that he was away every day except Wednesday, when I had no free time. I did play around with Edgecam a bit more but couldn't do much since all I could really do was figure out milling profiles and how to change at what angle I mill the face. The more important aspects of milling depth, feed, and spin were out of reach since I first don't know what kind of aluminum alloy I'll be buying, so I don't know how fast to spin the mill, and also I have no idea how fast I can make the feed due to the moderately tight turns the drill bit would do in order to profile the putter head. I don't have any experience milling metal, only some waxy stuff and soft wood we used back in CIM my sophomore year, so I don't know how much the mill can handle.
I guess this is really my first big stumbling block, and until I can find time with Mr. Breigle, which I hopefully will this week since spring break is next week, I'm not going to be able to get much farther with my project.
