How hard is it to CNC this?
I was wondering how hard it would be to CNC this. Would I make it to size on the manual lathe first and then have the CNC mill do all the rest? Just to give an idea of the size, the OD is about 2.5 inches and the part is about 1 inch deep. I have a guy who will make the program in MasterCAM and I will set up the machine. I know this can be done (as I have seen way more complex stuff than this) but I don't know how hard it would be. The space between the six protrusions is .134 which is pretty small. Is a 1/8" end mill that is at least 1 inch long a common thing? Thanks.
EDIT: Forgot attatchment, added now.
