Well, CAD I know very well, with ProE anyway, CAM i'm supposed to be learning in the next few weeks on ProE. CNC i know nothing about. Oh, and i got to use the lathe yesterday, they have some brand new really nice lathes at nmsu machining lab. They purchased 5 of them, full digital readouts on the x and z axis. Next week is milling. Btw, our project is a slot car drag racer. So i was making wheels and axles last class. Got my axles within .005 of spec
.
On a quick related note, but off topic. I need to widen out the opening of a stainless steel exhaust flange. They won't allow me use of the machining lab for personal use (can't use there milling machine to do it). I have a grinder, dremel, and a rotary air tool. What should i use? And what kind of bit (stainless is hard stuff)?
