If you want to get into CNC machining but don't know where to start, this project is for you. It's a compilation of 9 aluminum bushing projects designed for beginners, from simple to more complex
This guide will teach you how to machine aluminum bushing on a CNC machine and show you how to use the software of your choice to do it
The first project is a simple shaft that can be used as a slide or a blank for the next steps in your process. You'll learn how to create the bushing by creating several parts with different angles and sizes, then gluing them together
Once you've mastered that part, move on to step two: milling the hole for your shaft using a shank reamer and drill press. Follow along as we show you how to create the threads using an end mill and drill press
Next up: milling your blank down until it's just right! The process involves removing material from both sides of your blank (as well as around the edges) in order to create a tapered shape that matches up with the other parts already cut out. You'll also learn how to add shoulders onto your new block if you want extra strength or protection
