Machine cutting like a dream.
It's a real joy to use. The inner ring where the text is was mdf but it crumbled so I replaced it with some hardwood from an old skirting board. The outside diameter is 550mm. |
Very nice.
|
Looks great!

What a peach of a machine.
Same as the gear, 550mm. |
Alright now, you guys are just showing off!
|
Sorry :D
|
Al, are you using Aspire?
|
No.
I just draw things in Autocad, save as .dxf. Put said .dxf through Ace convertor or dxf2gcode postprocessor. Keep it simple. Wait till you see what I have planned for tomorrow.:D |
Bring It On!

Right of Passage
So have we started a new trend, finish your machine and make a big gear. Pretty fancy, good job.
|
Does my nylon gear count?

It appears someone know what they are doing <big grin>
I like gears, especially when they are put into action (like clocks, etc) |

Lancaster roughed out in no time.
It is all the other work that takes the time. Anybody got a MechMate that can seal, sand & spray ? Love this machine:) |

Apply self stick masking, or a crap ton of masking tape. Route the plane. Paint the routed parts. Peel masking. Profit! ;) |
That's how I do it, when possible.

Just Asking
Lonestaral
is there much call for a British Lancaster in your part of the world? |
The Lancaster is for me.
I will tell the story of the Lancaster and the Phantom when I finish the Lancaster. |

I am going to have a party in a few weeks time to introduce my new machine.
Made a batch of these to give away to the guests. I will put a ring on them for keys or perhaps some magnetic strip. Should look good on the back of the toilet door.:) |
A party to commemorate the completion.....Brilliant!!
|
I thought a "Meet the Beast" occasion was a good idea.
Show people the machine and what it can do. Might get some work for it. Made another batch of gears this morning, I have 50 of them now. Thinking cap on, need some other products to show on the night. If any of you are passing by you are very welcome to attend. |
Flying again

Got the Lancaster hung.
The free gears are coming along. |
Party to celebrate a MechMate in production. Great idea!

Is it too early to make christmas tree ornaments? This is from where I used to work as a computer tech. Whenever I heard one of the tables going I'd go watch.

The " Meet the Beast" party went well.
The machine worked perfectly. No orders yet but a lot of Wow !!!!!!!!! A man asked me today if I could cut some keys. He presented me with a waney edged slab of hardwood 970mm long. The width varied (280 / 370mm)as did the thickness (40mm). Also a cardboard cut out. Can do ! 1 1/2 hours after getting home the wife is delivering 2 keys. Not too bad, wife impressed and the customer is happy. Love this machine. :) |
Very Good!!
