Get your red hot gear here folks!:d

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.

servant74 · #**154** Thu 10 October 2013, 23:48

Looks great!

lonestaral · #**155** Fri 11 October 2013, 03:01

What a peach of a machine.
Same as the gear, 550mm.

Tom Ayres · #**156** Fri 11 October 2013, 03:02

Alright now, you guys are just showing off!

lonestaral · #**157** Fri 11 October 2013, 03:18

Sorry

Tom Ayres · #**158** Fri 11 October 2013, 03:38

Al, are you using Aspire?

lonestaral · #**159** Fri 11 October 2013, 05:25

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.

Tom Ayres · #**160** Fri 11 October 2013, 05:48

Bring It On!

Mrayhursh · #**161** Fri 11 October 2013, 09:46

So have we started a new trend, finish your machine and make a big gear. Pretty fancy, good job.

KenC · #**162** Fri 11 October 2013, 11:24

Does my nylon gear count?

zumergido · #**163** Fri 11 October 2013, 14:16

one of the first cuts on the mm a year a ago... using coreldraw

servant74 · #**164** Fri 11 October 2013, 21:23

It appears someone know what they are doing <big grin>

I like gears, especially when they are put into action (like clocks, etc)

lonestaral · #**165** Sat 19 October 2013, 04:18

Got some time to finish the Phantom.
Lancaster tomorrow I hope.

darren salyer · #**166** Sat 19 October 2013, 06:34

Love it.

lonestaral · #**167** Sun 20 October 2013, 05:34

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

Paint background, let dry.
Apply self stick masking, or a crap ton of masking tape.
Route the plane.
Paint the routed parts.
Peel masking.
Profit!

darren salyer · #**169** Mon 21 October 2013, 18:23

That's how I do it, when possible.

Mrayhursh · #**170** Mon 21 October 2013, 20:07

Lonestaral
is there much call for a British Lancaster in your part of the world?

lonestaral · #**171** Mon 21 October 2013, 23:56

The Lancaster is for me.
I will tell the story of the Lancaster and the Phantom when I finish the Lancaster.

lonestaral · #**172** Tue 22 October 2013, 03:44

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.

darren salyer · #**173** Tue 22 October 2013, 18:42

A party to commemorate the completion.....Brilliant!!

lonestaral · #**174** Tue 22 October 2013, 23:08

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.

lonestaral · #**175** Wed 23 October 2013, 03:30

Got the Lancaster hung.
The free gears are coming along.

servant74 · #**176** Thu 24 October 2013, 21:18

Party to celebrate a MechMate in production. Great idea!

barry99705 · #**177** Sat 26 October 2013, 19:47

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.

lonestaral · #**178** Tue 29 October 2013, 05:46

Some give away's for the kids.
Will fill the engraving with black paint.

lonestaral · #**179** Wed 06 November 2013, 04:50

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.
