Modelmikey Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 I have a cab from AITM and I would like to thin it out. I was wondering if anyone had ever machined a resin casting, I'm afraid it would chatter so bad it would crack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superpeterbilt Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 It can easily be thinned out with a dremel tool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim B Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Don't forget to wear a dust mask! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modelmikey Posted March 6, 2015 Author Share Posted March 6, 2015 I know about a dust mask, figured a milling machine might have a bit more finesse and control then a dremel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superpeterbilt Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 I know about a dust mask, figured a milling machine might have a bit more finesse and control then a dremel. The problem would be clamping on the resin without breaking it, and most cabs would have too many curves to machine in flat sections(Im assuming your wanting to use a mill?). The resin grinds away so easy with the dremel. As long as it has the speed control, you dont want to run it wide open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
