Crank for Tree Knee
The crank that raises and lowers the knee on our CNC Mill was lost somewhere before the mill came to us. After some measuring I generated a quick Solidworks model and used HSMWORKS to make the tool path. Between the “teeth” you can see some of the adaptive clearing strategy that HSMWORKS employs. I turned a nice radius on the end of some bar stock with our CNC lathe for a handle. As you can see, it fits nicely and stores out of the way.
