Even tho i am a big fan of mass production, the tray that my screw drivers came in was poorly moulded from crappy plastic. I decided to remake the tray in oak plywood and aluminium.
This was a good exercise in Autodesk Fusion 360 toolpath generation.
The brass screws where made from 8mm rod, and the slits where cut with a jewelers hacksaw. Then they where turned in the lathe so that they sit flush with the aluminium frame.
This is the toolpaths for the aluminium frame. it has roughing offsets, to make space for evacuating the chips from the cut.
This is where things gets complicated. The wooden tray is 3D milled. That means that the CNC machine is moving with all axises at the same time, to produce smooth edges with a round cutter.
