Here is my first cut with my CNC router!
I bought it before Christmas, and have been
learning the software ever since. I still
have a lot more to learn, but I think I am
well on my way.
Here is the baffle populated with a Raven R-1
and Scan Speak 15W-8530K01. I am looking forward
to getting this combo up and running again.

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

1) I am extremely jealous.
2) It looks like the fit around the drivers could be a lot tighter.
Re: Re: CNC cut baffle
Unless he want to put a sealant gasket like I want to do for my next project. I will use aerospace sealant used for the integral fuel tank (the wings) to create a gasket underneat the drivers and around it. We call this a form in place gasket. Very effective against fuel leak in high altitute, so I think it should work ok with just air at ground level =)

I bought the machine from a guy in Los Angeles. He
currently has another for auction at E-bay.

Currently running Mastercam V9.1 for CAD and toolpath
generation, and Master5 to run the machine
Here's a pic :

Variac said:Is this sealant easier to work with than urathane? How do you get a nice flat gasket in place without gluing in the drivers permanantly? Brand name? I need a gasket for my speakers! Thanks.

Easy. What we use to install the access door on the aircraft it to put mold release on the access door, apply the sealant on the rebate of the access hole on the wing and you put the access door in is place. The mold release will make sure that the sealant only glue to the wings and not the access door. When the cure is complete, we remove the access door and remove the excess of sealant and voila, a perfect gasket seal.

Manufacturer: PRC-DESOTO
Name: I suggest to use Pro-Seal 870 B1/2
This type of sealant is use for aerodynamic seal and application time is 1/2 Hrs. You can also use B2 type that have a application time of 2hrs.
http://www.ppg.com/prc-desoto/pdf/870b.pdf
for the technical paper.
Price: around 40$CAN per containers.
or this one PR-1428
http://www.ppg.com/prc-desoto/pdf/pr1428b.pdf
But I don't know the price of this one.

But I don't know the price of this one.
I paid $1450, but picked it up and paid cash to get the price down.
The guy builds 'em 5 or 6 at a time - I've seen them go for $2200
or so on E-bay.
It's been a hell of a lot of fun learning. I have never done anything
like this before, so all the terminology is new. And Mastercam
software is as far from "user friendly" as possible.
You just hook your parallel port up to the control box - nothing
complex about the hardware - and off you go!

I dunno, MasterCAM is more user friendly than some other CAM software out there, like SmartCAM.........

Finally got one finished. Still painting the other.
Not bad for my first CNC project, huh?
