Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: Hp 7475 Plotter Servo's - Drag knife

Dave,

On the web site I sent to you in the other post you will find some drag
knife designs. I came up with my own based on the info from that site and
from the materials I had laying around. I was able to get a IOLINE brand
drag knife from a man who runs a sign shop. He gave it to me after I told
him what I was trying to do, he even let me examine his knife holder and
gave me a lesson in making stickers. I bought a bearing from McMaster Carr
and I had a small magnet and some aluminum laying around. So I put it all
togehter to make the knife holder and I believe it will work great, once I
get the plotter to work. I guess I could put the holder in my mill and try
it out, but I have not had the time. I feel confident that it will work
great on the plotter.

I do not have pics or drawing yet, maybe next week. Then I will send
them too you.

Victor
