Watch step-by-step as we design and carve this beautiful California 3D topographical map from reclaimed walnut. Final dimension measure 14″ wide x 36″ tall x 2-1/2″ high. http://www.toolstoday.com
Step 1
Download the geographical maps from the US Government websites and translate the 2D patterns into 3D design for CNC carving
Step 2
Solid Carbide Spiral Plunge Router Bit no. 46272 cuts the perimeter of California State
Step 3
ZrN Coated Solid Carbide Spiral Ball Nose Router Bit no. 46495 rough cuts the reclaimed walnut and removes unnecessary material with it’s thick 1/2” tip diameter
Step 4
ZrN Coated Solid Carbide Spiral Ball Nose Router Bit no. 46283 uses it’s 1/4” tip diameter to make an intermediate roughing pass
Step 5
ZrN Coated Solid Carbide Spiral Ball Nose Router Bit no. 46284 makes the first of two finishing passes with it’s 1/8” tip diameter
Step 6
ZrN Coated Solid Carbide Spiral Ball Nose Router Bit no. 46582 utilizes its extremely thin 1/16” tip diameter for the final finishing pass
Step 7
We commissioned Pierre-Luc to hand paint the map with realistic design based on US government renderings, he then clear coats the piece for durability
