Nice,

What cutter did you use for FINAL cut..
I use 3mm ballnose with 10% stepover.
Another trick is to do final cut in X-direction and then another in Y-direction.

On Youtube I would call it GRAPE not Strawberries ..

Hi Stefan

Thanks for the video, you risked you life to do it for us by the sound of it
All that safety stuff a a complete waste of time and money.... until you need it:)

The new VFD and spindle looks great on #73.

Regards
Ross

And the last test: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u9UqwF3Dbww
Took it 10 hours to finish those big grapes...
Thanks and congratulations for this outstanding project, Gerard! The MM handled this work without any problems and it's still standing!

You are brave to do such a big piece. Looking good, but I am sure that you should be able to speed it up a lot more. Once you have done your Rough cut and removed most of the wood with a 6 or 12mm straight cutter, your Final cut with a smaller Ballnose bit should only take about 1mm off, and therefore you can speed it up.

Hello everybody!
I was a little busy in the past months, but I still managed to do some great stuff with my MM.

Sweet !! What are the run times for those?

I like I like Stefan. Is that the mirror from Fabrice ?

@Mike 10-12 hours, it depends how fast the feed-rate or stepover is.
@Kobus No, I received that model from a friend.

Very Nice Stefan

Hi Stefan.

Seriously "Walnut table with some grapes on it" is a little undersold, try masterpiece.
Humbled by your skill and a great pleasure to view your contributions to the forum.

Kindest regards
Ross

Now that is a table! :) Nice work!

That is one nice table

Beautiful work once again Stefan.

Very impressive! :cool:

Lots of thanks Andrei, Ross, Heath and Alan for your appreciation!
Vielen dank fur deine Anerkennung dir zu, John!

@Ross, I know, it's a bit hard to find the words when I see it...

I like it as well.. well done...REAL wood cannot be beaten

Cu plăcere :)

Master at work!

WOW, I have seen a carved relief work, but that combined with a very skilled tradsman..thats the best I have seen yet..

@Stefan: Great work on that "little oak table with some grapes".. Very impressive.

And my last work, I tried to mill Aluminium with some of my used wood mills: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xpXsciBiQhY
If I had some aluminium mills, I think it would have gone much better.
I'll prepare some stuff for a new cnc.

Greeting to all of you!

Stefan, I am planning to build a MM in Hungary. May I ask you where did you order the laser cut and bent parts?

Many thanks,
Andras

Hallo. I've cut the piece with laser at home in Baia Mare. Do you not have a laser cutting machine there?
