Am just watching your profile cut video and noticed your dust shoe. Do you have any more info on it's design? Looks like it works well...

Very nice and that staircase looks brilliant! would love to see more details on your indexer/lathe.

LOL I just watched the profile cut video, I think your shop staircase could do with an upgrade :D

Just watched your profile cut video. Excellent. I would also be interested in more details!

+1 on the dust shoe, a description would be great.
I also want some info on the vacuum blocks.

How did you setup the tool for your lathe work on the CNC??

I know how the lathe part works, but the tool and toolpaths on your CNC when doing lathe work, how is that setup?
And the lathe tool it self, isthat just an ordinaly HSS tool for small cheap lathes?

Dust shoe is made plex glass and bursh for doors. Its aluminium profile with brushes. It's just bended same shape what plexglas is cuted. And its easely removable. Only 6 magnets hold it.

For lathe job, I have different mach settings. There are axis swaped.

But toolpaths make is intricate. Because i tested diffrent metal lahte softwares, but none makes such toolpath what i need.

I make draw toolpaths manualy.

because in lathe job, there no space to mistakes.
Whit matal lathe soft i broked mine knives.

Knives are hi quality HSSCo material. These are specified for automated copy lathes.
