Скачать или смотреть Can the Carvera Air Make a Real ARRI Rosette?

This video tests whether a small desktop CNC can machine a fully functional ARRI Rosette — a standardized connection used in camera rigs, filmmaking gear, and various mounting systems.

The name “Rosette” is commonly used in the camera and video production community.
In mechanical engineering, however, similar interlocking tooth profiles are more formally known as Hirth couplings or Curvic couplings, depending on the geometry.
In Japan, this pattern is also called “Kikuza” (菊座) because it resembles chrysanthemum petals.

This video also uses a non-standard combination of tools and machining order to intentionally examine tool marks.
Because of this, the cutting sequence shown here should not be taken as a recommended workflow.

MACHINING FOOTAGE

All machining footage — except for the tool-change moments — is shown in real time with the original cutting sound.
No timelapses, overlays, or simulated audio. The footage represents the actual machining experience.

NOTE

All toolpaths and cutting parameters shown in this video are experimental.
Results may vary depending on tools, materials, machine condition, and setup.
They are not intended as general recommendations.
Always follow proper safety procedures when operating CNC equipment.

COMMUNITY & FEEDBACK

If you have machining tips — especially for similar Hirth or Curvic tooth profiles — feel free to share them in the comments.

I am still testing cutter geometry, feed rates, and toolpaths to improve the surface finish and machining efficiency. Further experiments are planned.
