Ahhhhhhhhh, so that's how they make those funny avatar picture thingies in that other thread!
-
Who needs one of those when you can have one of these ;)

I probably would envy you if I knew what "it" was............. :-\
-
Do they sell these in Australia?
-
Tony looks an over done butchers band saw to me.... but hey you can watch internet porn while ya cut ya thumbs off at least.
-
:o Bastard!
-
Slakewell...get your people to contact my people regarding a couple of little jobs I might have for you!
-
Come off it Mark Firkin !!!
You and CNC are like oil and water - all that bling, bling, bling !!! Next thing you'll have purple anodising on your 350 :D
Dave Mac ;)

Can you handle .STL , .IGES files? Looks like Mach3 software?
-

No but to import from China with duites and land it inside my workshop with tooling works out at 14k
-
Bit small isn't it, can't see you getting a stock car head on it to do the ports like our 1 at work has at the moment. It's amazing just what you can find to make with these when you have one

Yes I would like a bed size twice as big but I dont have 50k , for 14k it's a great R&D jobing type deal which suits mostly what it needs to do.

Yep
Don,t care how big it is .:)
Envy/Envy

yeah - I echo Doc ;D

We use Vision mill
-
so do we post up orders here ?

Wow :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o that is making my last Sundays effort look a bit lame.
What a mission this was ::)
300kg, plus boxes of tooling. No lifting pionts.
Had to dismantle it and carry out piece by piece to load.

Arrrh well being in peices is deffinately making it allot easier to get it in to the master bedroom.
Now I just need some stepper motors and control box.

....and a can of oil ;) :D

Arrrrrh yes my learned friend, the iron oxide was complimentary Graeme.
I got it very cheap.
When I arrived he had all the missing pieces in boxes, as well as thousands of dollars worth of tooling ;D
Couldn't believe my luck ;D :D

Actually CNC is a yesterday now it's DMLS (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=88BPmL8cGAo) is the new black. So start saving Slakewell ;D

building your new bike - 40 microns at a time. AMAZING!

Hey Lozza,
What's your email address so I can send you my files. OK to pickup the parts tomorrow…?

Ask Ken, he knows the tight time critical schedule I work to ;D ;D ;D Just make sure you have the Armaguard van with you

DMLS - as the woman once said, "please explain" to the masses
-
DMLS is a process of laser sintering metal stock, via digital control, mostly used for producing prototype engineering models.
“Horses for courses”
I doubt anyone would concede that there is a viable mass production market in Vintage MX.
In our love, I imagine "one off jobbing" would be the preferred method for the enthusiast, who has his heart set on research and development or repair. Or CNC for good guy, helping his mates out whilst he funds his personal addiction, or servicing midstream industry demands.

"DMLS" is a clicky linky thingy.
I knew that would come back bite me on the arse Luke, we'll have some answers for you tomorrow(yeah I know heard that before) ;D
Mick F1 gearboxes are made the same way, they are not mass market. F1 constructors may have went to carbon fibre cases now(or vice versa) bit the non-critical sections of the cases were less than 1mm thick. Ferrari made several titanium gearboxes a material that is extremely difficult to cast. F1 has moved away from Ti for cases to a mandated specification aluminium alloy. The beauty of this is that casting is by passed all together.

Well I guess that answers my question about the structural integrity of the resultant materials.
Think what you could make for a VMX resto…?

Limited only by your imagination and your skill on Solidworks/MasterCam etc etc. Actualy you don't really need any skills, just a bottle of bourbon and a big net.Put the net down outside the Engineering Facualty at a Uni, put the bottle in the centre of the net, I'm sure you get the picture now, in no time you'll have a clutch of engineering students keen to just about anything to get that bottle. Only 1 tip, STL file first THEN the bottle.

I'm sure the judge will believe you!!! ;)
-
Also limited by the size of your bank account, can't see the machine being cheap tp buy or run. Mind you neither is a machining centre

If you show them the other 11 bottles in the carton it won't ever get to court ;)
