How to use 3 axis cnc to made stainless steel watch case?
On May 29, 2020, our company conducted a stainless steel watch case engraving by 3 axis cnc milling machine. The following are more details.
Step 1. Preparation
(1) Below is our steel stainless material before engraving:
(2)Below is our engraving bits:
Step 2. Process:
These are our experimental procedures by 3 axis cnc, which mainly include three aspects: rough engraving by 6mm 4 flutes end mill ,accuracy engraving by 3mm R2 ball end mill ,1mm 4 flutes end mill and 2mm R1 ball end mill
(1)Rough Engraving by 3 axis cnc with 6mm 4 flutes end mill
