No, it isn't, I had two failed (didn't work at all) X79 FTW's so they 'sort of' made good and gave me
the step up option, should have been just a straight swap though.

Prototype looks great!
Have to ask though..... the upper right tab in your pic has no thru-hole for a screw? (I take it that's a result of testing with an actual board?)

Sign me up Nate, deciding on keeping or selling the X79 depending on how things. However if I keep the Dark for modding I will def want to get a set of blocks from you.

Well I just bought my X79 Dark from NewEgg, so just need to wait a week or 3 for it to arrive now.
Can't wait!

Debating on skipping the prototype, and just hitting the go button on a single part. Anyways, here is the machine, with the fixture plate and copper bar stock.

I now present the block:   Its the new "see through version" I kid... I messed up. It was the prototype. This is literally just off the machine at 4:07 am. I am spent. Made the tool paths, cut the block, and almost finished my new CNC machine in the course of this evening. I am tapping out for the night. This is why you should never operate machinery when your exhausted. In any case, here is the machine working on it: Stick a fork in me... im done.

☄ Helpful
Should get a waterproof GoPro mounted on that thing for close up action. Looks good, is that the old machine or the new one? Looks a lot different.

Thanks! Not a bad idea about the gopro either. That is the new machine btw. I will probably make a thread on that one at some point.

Been looking at the gopro hero3 black. Sexy camera!
Another non-descript machining video:
What makes this machine so much better then my old one (aside from the length of travel, zero backlash, more powerful & faster motor etc...) Is that the spindle, and the coolant start AND stop in the programming! I used to have to babysit it, or walk away, and come back and the spindle has been needlessly running, and the coolant as well.
So far I have tested the machine to a little over twice what my other machines depth of cut has been, so that means instead of 20 laps at 0.02" DOC, i have easily gotten 0.05, and this is the first piece of copper cut on the machine.

I am about to start another one. I wonder if anyone would be bored to death watching a webcast of the block being made. Does anyone do webcasting?

If you could get a better view of the cutting I would end up watching it for awhile lol. Find it fascinating what it does.
