This tutorial will walk you thru the process of creating a ring in Rhino,
displaying the ring on the internet, machining the ring on a 4x cnc mill,
casting and finishing the ring. Please email me with comments or corrections.

LOAD RHINO TEMPLATE
IMPORT AND SCALE THE STONE
EXTRUDE THE RING

ADD STONE SEAT AND THRU HOLE
HOLLOW OUT THE RING
ADD INSIDE TEXT
ADD RING MANDREL

RENDER THE MODEL
DISPLAY RING ON THE INTERNET

CREATE TOOLPATHS
The 5xjstlnc.exe program reads *.stl binary files and writes *.nc, *.sf, *.txt and *.doc files.
     *.nc toolpath files will run on the 4x cnc mill.

The following file types are different ways to view the 5xjstlnc.exe program output:
     *.sf files are silverscreen script files.
     *.txt files are rhino command files.
     *.doc files are mastercam ascii text files.

Below are three stl test files.
You can download the stl test files , the sf txt doc test files or click on the links to interactively view the models

I'm not going to put the 5xjstlnc.exe program on the www until I finish testing it on the mill.
I expect to finish the initial testing this week
