Knifemaking Tuesdays Week 52 - Vacuum Fixture and G10 inlays Media

Merry Christmas! This week for KMT I got a bunch of new toys for the shop, including a new Sony video camera, an LED video light, and a wicked awesome VM300 vacuum pallet system from Mitee Bite to use on my Tormach CNC milling machine. Throughout the video I explain how the vacuum system works, how I will be using it, and then I make several parts with it. First up is a small aluminum fixture, then I interpolate some holes into G10 and threadmill them using a 4-40 thread-mill from www.LakeShoreCarbide.com. After that I flip the G10 over, screw it to the aluminum fixture, then profile and corner round it. This relatively small fixture lets me make 85 inlays at a time from a single sheet of G10!

Enjoy the video and have a happy holiday season!
