Machining Resin

[Modelmikey]

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.

It can easily be thinned out with a dremel tool.

Thank's for the tip

Don't forget to wear a dust mask!

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.
