How workable is hardend resin?
I'd like to know if a block of hardend resin,used for encasing memorables , can be turned/milled on a large or mill. If so giving the type of chisel/cutter (HSS/HM) and speeds used would be much appreciated.
*large = lathe
Answer:
I don't know what cutter you need, but I do know that resin is basically plastic and plastic can get turned on a lathe. However, if you want the resin to stay transparent I think it would be very difficult as the surface will get opaque if you work it on a lathe (or saw it or anything of that kind). You would have to polish it with increasing finer grit of sandpaper and finally some polishing compound in order to get it transparent, and that is going to be much more difficult to impossible with a complicated surface structure. It would be much easier to make a mold which already has the shape you want to the resin in and pour the resin to harden into the desired shape.
