Working with Tiles??

[JPotter]

Tiling is very easy. You can get a dry tile cutter but renting a wet saw is cheap and makes short work of sizing up the tiles. You will need mastik to stick them on with and grout to fill in the gaps. You will a trowel for the mastik and a float for the grout. It is important to have a good base to put the tiles on..if you have a flimsy base then all will be more difficult. Build the ledge as you would like it and then cover it with the tile.

Yes Paul, thats what I was thinking. But level with the bottom of the tank. So the shelf covers the foam and a little bit of the sand.

What program you using to draw with? I have Autocad 2008, but I'm not that good with the 3D aspect.

I use Iron Cad, it's a solid modeling package that I have used for years, it allows me to go from a solid to CNC easily, very user friendly.

do you use 3D for your CNC? Thats the reason I got Autocad myself. Was for my Mill. But I just use it for X-Y drawings and have a CAM program that I enter the Z's into. It's only a 3 axis mill, and I havn't goten into full scale 3D with it.

We run a number of methods, Solidworks included, then into cad cam to verify, I have 16 CNC's and all are slightly different so they have to be dealt with differently in the way you post to them.
