Making a Titanium Engagement Ring with CNC

Last modified: July 16, 2024

Received a wonderful message from a G-Wizard user in our User's Club:

I had a project where I needed to cut a bunch of contouring with a 0.035" x 0.3" long ball end mill in titanium alloy. It went as smooth as could be. After G Wizard, I'm more worried about breaking tiny end mills by accident when it is not in the mill than I am about it breaking when cutting.

I asked if he'd send photos of his project and it turned out to be this gorgeous engagement ring:

Silver ring with diamond or gemstone on wooden surface

Silver ring with diamond or gemstone on dark wood grain surface.

Metalwork machining operation, milling machine with cutting tool and metal workpiece.

Here is the 4th axis during roughing with a 0.055" endmill...

The 4th axis was simply used to index, and 4 index positions were needed to complete the work.  It came out looking gorgeous as is obvious from the pictures and his fiance loved it.  What a great CNC project!
