xsk8er9000 Nateman, first things first. Your blocks look amazing, as does your new mill. I have always had a big interest in milling. Your work has somewhat inspired me to try my hand in it. Any suggestions for a noob on where to start?
nateman_doo xsk8er9000 Nateman, first things first. Your blocks look amazing, as does your new mill. I have always had a big interest in milling. Your work has somewhat inspired me to try my hand in it. Any suggestions for a noob on where to start? Thanks!! Considering I am still new to this, ask yourself the following questions: 1. What do you want to mill (as in how large of parts)? 2. How much money are you willing to spend (or do u have)? 3. How much time are you willing to put forth to the effort? 4. Are you a perfectionist? 5. How handy are you? If you can truthfully answer those questions I can steer you in the right direction.
Forgotton hopefully fixing one doesn't mess up the other lol
nateman_doo SUCCESS! Liquid flows, spindle turns, all axis move & chips fly! All the fluid goes into my recirculating system which is filtered by... an Applebea's take out container. WIN. The first cut seen is just a basic outline of my work envelope which is around 11.7" x 7.8". This will help putting any raw material down on the plate and see where the bits will cut. I think I am going to make a dedicated post for this machine build to have all the pictures in one place. Most likely in the General Discussion section.
