RE: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Propeller blades, was: 4-AXIS FOAM CUTTER

Fred,

You just hit on something I am interested in but was waiting to ask until I
was ready to start playing with it. I want to machine what I would describe
as the front face of a propeller (one blade only). Out of your arsenal of
programs what software would you suggest to do this. What the item actually
will be is a prop blade form for a model air plane propeller that is then
molded on the face of the from a balsa sheet. So the form must have both
camber (an arch from the leading edge to the training edge) and it twists
from one end to the other just like the face of a propeller.
