I'm going to guess w/o reading the rest of the thread first, you did it on your mill?

You are having way too much fun

Yes, on the mill. I have a bunch of relatives visiting right now, they
all decided that they want a cube like this.

Sounds like you have a bunch of blocks to square. Do you have a relative or two you can
trust to help out?

I swuare them right with the turner's cube program, it has an optional
one liner to square the top.

That was time consuming just to model one in Alibre.

Very nice. It took me about an hour to write a G code routine to do
that same.

The G code subroutine, takes all parameters, like size of the cube,
end mill diameter, shrinkage coefficients etc and works one side of
the cube.

I've finally found a good use for some cerrocast I have if I ever get the jones to make
one. http://www.hitechalloys.com/hitechalloys_002.htm

This looks very interesting indeed.

Want to sell some to me?
