- Thread starter Silent Bob
- Start date
I will bump it up for you. Long read as my wife gave birth to our daughter during construction of it and work slowed down. There is a lot of conversation in the thread. I wanted to finish this tank so I could pull the remaining fish I owned out of the garage after selling off my rays. Now that this one is done back to the giant tank.
Custom all in one sump and QT tank time. Should have all parts cut today ready for assembly tonight.
Final dimensions will be 27"×30×18.5"

I know everyone uses different tools when cutting acrylic but nothing beats this little guy. Nice and quiet and cuts so smoothly.
Very nice build im new, but hope to build one soon

I am actually starting to enjoy doing this.
Larger chamber is the sump and the smaller is the quarantine area. Will explain that when I get more done for those still following along.

I will find out the brand when our sharpening guy comes in tomorrow. As for the bit itself it is a 3 flute .5" diameter bit. 3.5" long with a 1.25" cutting length. It is an up spiral but does not chip out the acrylic at all.
This bit would be perfect on your CNC. Having the slight up spiral it will definitely help pull any acrylic shavings if you are running a dust collector. I wouldn't recommend this bit for anything other then acrylic or abs.
