Winston Moy | Making a Small Vacuum Chuck for CNC Workholding - #162 @WinstonMakes | Uploaded 4 years ago | Updated 1 hour ago
I need to machine some hemispheres, and I don't have access to a lathe. In order to fixture my stock so I can machine the outer surfaces of my domed piece, I made a custom vacuum fixture.
In case you're wondering, the dust shoe I'm testing is SWEEPY, Carbide3D's latest CNC Router accessory. (Available soon.)

![First Attempt at Machining Carbon Fiber - Light Duty Utility Knife [#173]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/ijq3YgwElPA/hqdefault.jpg "First Attempt at Machining Carbon Fiber - Light Duty Utility Knife [#173]
Ive long wanted to try machining carbon fiber, so I put together a quick little project to test some basic toolpaths. Its a little proof of concept utility blade holder that Im actually quite fond of now. Ill probably end up using it for a few weeks to see where I can improve the design. So far Ive only stabbed myself with it once.
Special thanks to Home Depot for providing the tools I used to keep me safe during this project:
14 Gal. 6.0-Peak HP NXT Wet/Dry Shop Vacuum - https://homedepot.sjv.io/gzg32
HEPA Filtration Kit w/ Cyclonic Dust Bags - https://homedepot.sjv.io/ON4jr
Shoutout to Ryan at Elevated Materials (elevatedmaterials.com) for the tips.
