Hi All

Happy New Year from snowy Scotland !!

Just completed a wee tool that I needed, so thought I'd share it.
It's a fairly rudimentary dog-bone or t-bone internal corner maker.
Dog-bone or T-bone internal corners are used to remove the radiused corners which are created due to the router bit thereby allowing rectangular corners to fit neatly.
It only works on 90 deg corners...

I see others creating and coding 3D fuse halves and milling the inside of the fuse. I understand this process if you are creating a mold. I have never tried milling yet but it seems to me that in creating a 3D fuse, wouldn't you mill the outside shape of the fuse sides, hollow out the centers, either by hand or milling, then join the two parts and sand?

I may have it all wrong, that is why I'd like to know how others are doing this...

I recall seeing a hot wire bow attached to a MK3 head cannot find that post now though.
But any gantry machine can do this I think, attach a hot wire bow to the head so that Y movement will pull the wire through the foam.

Now draw your constant chord aerofoil shape as in this image, trailing edge down, top surface to the right.
