Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Machineable wax - answer to Ian's question

Thanks Bill,

I hadn't realised this use for cnc before but now I just can't wait to get
my mill finished and working (its getting very near now!).

Just one question more - where you are making wax models with more than one
part to them (as Jon, I think, described), or are fixing parts onto a wax
sprue for casting, how do you fix the parts together? Is there some magic
'glue' or do you just use a hot knife and hope? One of the applications I
can see my mill being used for is making wrist watch cases and so this would
involve fastening the four strap lugs onto the body - all in exactly the
right position and orientation and without any lumps and bumps at the join.
