Milling circle

  

2006

for builing the robot MULLRATS we needet a millingcircle
here the simple assembly of the tool, built for proxxon multitool with a 20mm shaft:

works perfect, but i still had problems with making a circle in Perspex (PMMA, Plexiglas)
the temperature was too high ->material melted -> no smooth cut was possible
so i tried to cool it with a water syringe, better but not good

in the end i found a good solution:
first i made a 3mm deep circle in wood, filled that with water and but the Perspect above for milling
no watersyringe neccesary and the water cooled from below
i heard that the best way to cool Perspex is with white spirit (thanks to Rahul)
