Vector CAD/CAM --- 180 degree turn

Dan Statman
 

I would like to publicly tell all of you about my 180 degree turn I have
taken with Vector. As some of you might remember, i was less than
over-joyed with the software last week.

I have since joined the Vector discussion group and obtained the latest
update to the software (for free from Fred). The Vector discussion board is
monitored 24 hours a day by Fred and he responds IMMEDIATELY to all
questions. Having Fred available to show me how to use this software has
been a tremendous help. This software really is amazing in what it can do.

Today's project was a carved titanium ring with the saying "Ani L'Dodi
V'Dodi Li" with Hebrew characters. This translates to "I am my beloved's
and my beloved is mine."

I downloaded a free Hebrew True Type font and installed it on my computer.
I started Vector, and with help from Fred, in 10 minutes time I had
completed G-Code for pocketing each letter in three passes to a depth of
0.020" with a 0.015" cutter. Dumped the raw G-Code into Microsoft Excel to
convert it to rotary degrees and calculate the correct feedrates for each
point, and I cut the ring.

Total time invested 2.5 hours from conception to rough cut and anodized
ring. Pictures of the ring from four different angles can be seen at:

Thanks Fred, your support is overwhelming.

Dan,
Just got off the phone with my younger daughter, who pulled up your
link, and fell in love with the ring design. All she has to do is find a
husband, and we'll all be happy. Have you ever done an unusual Star of
David? Keep up the good work.

Thank you. Actually my giant step was admitting that I could not learn this
software from the manual and playing around with it. Once I went to the
source (i.e. Fred) all of my troubles disappeared.
