    Sweet, will do swappy thingy next time your over here or whatevs.

    Got her all running again, then proceeded to break my last 3mm cutter Think there is some setting to change circle interpretting I need to do also, as it was supposed to do a rad 0.5 circle and instead just fucked off in a big arc through my work.

    Show us a picture of your mill bro

    EDIT: Just flicked back a couple of pages. Looking slick bro. Did you make the entire setup yourself?

    Yeh it looks a bit better now with an ally bed in it...

    Yup, with the use of a proper CNC mill at work. Rigidity for doing aluminium is pretty borderline, so might look at re-purposing it for plastics/wood, and do a manual mill conversion for metal stuff down the track a bit. Or just get my hands on a swing bed 5 axis

    Ever considered using it with a plasma cutter? Unlimited cutting potential

    C7 ballscrews with a plasma cutter is a bit of a mismatch... Quite like to smash out a 1.3x2.5m plasma table though, just do it chain drive with some decent steppers and V rollers on box section.

    So, my normal polishing guy got his dick stuck in a rally car or something, so I had a go myself. Those are sprocket covers and will be anodised then have something pretty cut into em. Behind are various parts for fuel tank caps and swingarm blings.

    Good to have got my work stuff out of the garage and getting back to making a few bike bits here and there...

    Slow is good. My specialty actually.

    Nice shot. Phase transfer, you can almost see the molten material jump across the gap at peak current flow.

    Where'd you get it mister? Did they have any proper plasma transfer movies?
    Go soothingly on the grease mud, as there lurks the skid demon

    I got it from the site which has pictures of cats eating cheezeburgers, so no, no proper plasma transfer movies

    Bit of PC modding, kind of a dick of a job with all the different bits and emulating fan tach etc, but worked out pretty sweet in the end. Though the panels are a bit shittily aligned (the fat nerd memorabilia sitting on top is there to act as a balancing weight, else they jam up) so might do up some ali ones at some point.
