CNC GOLF CLUB

I made a usable putter for golf. Throughout the process I made the head reused a shaft from another putter and designed a grip out of epoxy. My putter is a 30" in shaft and a 1" tall head, by 4" long, and 2 " in depth. The SH is a design specialized to me so it felt more personal.

My bill of materials is listed. Some changes are I made a epoxy resign grip out of 3d printed mold to fit to my putter.

My very first step was ensuring my design looked how I wanted it to. The one problem with 3D printing is you can add the neuroling pattern to the front to make sure the grooves are how you want.

My first step was designing my soft jaw. What I did was make a block that fit the constraints of the cnc mill soft jaws and then extruded up so the block cut out the section of the putter so it would have a 0 tolerance fit.

1. Next I worked on creating the cam for the soft jaw.
2. We first did an adaptive clearing with a larger tool to get a precut layout so we could go back in with a smaller tool for a better margin of error and make a tighter fit.
3. In setup two we had to create a way to get the exact same work coordinate system every time so we cleared a section out of the corner of the soft jaw to set as our work coordinate system. After that we chamfered the edge to have a good looking soft jaw.
4. One thing to not is the spacing we had frompart to jaw was 0 tolerance so we had to use a hammer to put it in it worked really well and held the putter in place

We took our stock which ended up being .5" in height 2" in length and 4" in width.

1. Step One - Adaptive clearing to remove a large amount of material at once.
2. Step Two - Contour to remove excess material, creating a finer detailed part.
3. Step Three - Facing to create a perfectly flat machine top to measure off of.
4. Step Four - Chamfer edges to smooth out rigid edges for a better finish.

Step one: Put part into soft jaw make sure your coordinates are in the correct spot.

Step two: Adaptive 2d contour to clear the top of the part

Step three:

The problem while facing that arose was placing the bottom and the top in correctly so the knurling pattern was on the bottom instead of the top, giving the bottom the face. To solve this problem, label the bottom and top for a guideline when placing it in the jaws.

1. Step One - Find an old putter that you don't want to use and that you like the shaft of. (make sure Putter head is glued in)
2. Step Two - Dispose of old putter head
3. Step Three - Acquire a heat gun.
4. Step Four - Place putter in a vice.
5. Step Five - Find the hossle, apply heat with heat gun.
6. Step Six - Turn shaft back and forth. Be careful not to bend shaft while removing. Glue should be extremely hot prior to removing.
7. Step Seven - Pull straight back if it's not moving while turning back and forth.
8. Step Eight - If you want to add an angle, try to bend the shaft to the desired angle with a pipe bender.
9. Step Nine - Apply epoxy (metal on metal glue) to the hossle, then insert shaft into the hossle (inner putter).
10. Step Ten - Leave out to dry.
