Welcome to CNC Worm. In this blog I'm going to show off some of the CNC aluminum fishing lure molds I have made as well as share my thoughts on machining and molding your own soft plastic fishing lures.

Shrimp

I made this little shrimp mold today with some scrap metal I had on hand.

It's based on a clay model my friend gave me. Of course I had to change a few things to make it work. The sharp corners had to be omitted because those would be impossible without EDM. It came out great, though. Once again I had to use the extra length 1/8 ball mill for the surfacing and deal with the chatter but it came out well.  I used a parallel finish with a .015 stepover.
























Here is a picture of the finished product!
Now to just test it out and hope it catches some fish.
