    cad on mac osx

    I'm using a macbook retina with vmware fusion. In vmware fusion I set up Windows 8 as a virtual machine. On this virtual machine I've Installed unigraphics NX 8.5 and Autodesk Inventor 2014. They're not very fast, but good enough for me. When theres no chance to Install Windows on your Mac, I...

    Cam/Valve timing

    found de engine on Grabcad: here max rpm is below 10k, electric starting, but i want it to idle as low as possible. you timed it at 35°, does this mean you ignite at 35° btdc? thanks

    4-Axis CNC or 3-Axis CNC and lathe?

    No! You think that because its wood right? It is pretty strong if built like this, and it can be waterproofed against the coolant.

    4-Axis CNC or 3-Axis CNC and lathe?

    thats a good idea, I think it's the way I will go. Handpolishing at beginning, eventually building a grinder later. Thanks, I'm planing to build engines about 1/4 scale V8:cool: sorry, but what's IIRC? I will base my CNC design on the momus design seen here. but I will make it bigger...

    4-Axis CNC or 3-Axis CNC and lathe?

    Thanks to all for your answers! I know that its easy to step ud from 3 to 4-axis cnc, but I don't know if I should spend the money for the lathe or not. I will go CNC because its more fascinating to me, and I'm an Automotive Engineering Student, so I have acces to all the programs needed to...

    4-Axis CNC or 3-Axis CNC and lathe?

    Hi guys, I'm planing to build some model engines and want to build a CNC mill for doing so. My question is now, if its ok to build a 4-axis CNC or if I must have a lathe? I plan to do crankshafts and eventually the camshafts with the 4-axis CNC. hoping for answers. Florian Florian...
