ADD RING MANDREL

Oct 17, 2004 very rough draft

I cannot overstate the importance of the wax ring mandrel

Much of this process is hardware dependant

Machine the wax blank inside diameter on the lathe with the wax tube held in the 3-jaw chuck
Unscrew the 3-jaw chuck from the lathe and screw it on the mill rotary axis

When you run the 5xj_stl.exe *.nc file the ring mandrel will be all that is holding the ring model in the 3-jaw chuck

The wax mandrel will allow you to machine the inside of the ring
with conventional toolpath files





RENDER THE MODEL
DISPLAY RING ON THE INTERNET
CREATE TOOL PATHS

CUT THE WAX MODEL
CAST THE WAX MODEL
FINISH THE RING
SET THE STONE
