Maker Faire Austin 2008
Groovy CNC!
Recycling retro records into groovy keychains and guitar picks! Old 33rpm vinyl record albums are placed into the Probotix Fireball V90 CNC mill and then precision cut into new shapes with engraved text. G-CODE from a computer operates a circuit that controls stepper motors that guide a rotary tool as it both cuts and inscribes multiple items from a single record. This process not only produces new items, but also leaves behind an interesting shaped record.
