Inception of my Mill project
We were given a handout that diagrammed the brake bracket that we are instructed to make. It shows all the lengths and radii that we need to know to make it correctly to scale.
I then put the inventor file into fusion 360 and set it up to print on the mill.
Finally I went down to the Mill and loaded the fusion 360 file off of my flash drive onto the computer connected to the mill. I lined the bit up with the bottom left corner of the foam and then zero'd the x,y, and z axis's.

The milling took about 15 minutes and you can see from the time lapse just how the machine works. I couldnt get the whole time lapse because my phone fell as you can see from the end of the video.

This is the finished product after I laser engraved my name into it. It turned out very good. In conclusion it was a really good project to show us how to use the mill so that we can use it in future projects.
