Re: [RCSE] Re: Foam cutting
Tony, Make atransition ramp smoother. If a program is making it a sudden transition, redo it into a smooth one. I agree with one of the other replies that if you do the TE first that the wire may separate from the templates at the end of the travel. Stick with what's proven (or use really cheap foam for a test subject). Tom Koszuta Buffalo, NY - Original Message - From: Tony J. O'Hara [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Soaring List server [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, November 19, 2001 01:30 PM Subject: [RCSE] Re: Foam cutting I am trying to refine my foam cutting technique and am having a problem getting a smooth cut at the start of leading edge on the top surface pass. (Elsewhere is OK) Compufoil template shapes have a horizontal step/ramp up to the leading edge slope, thus making an abrupt angle transition. This transition seems to be causing my hot wire to catch and vibrate causing significant ridges in the cut foam at this important location. How do you cope with that? Is there any reason I cannot make the ramp an extension of the leading edge curve to avoid this angle transition and hence twanging of the wire?? I do cut the bottom surface first then the top, and start at the leading edge per compufoil recommendations. Any help will be much appreciated!
