Thanks for helping bring all of us together @SuperJETT

I ordered all 3 of those items plus the spanner we discussed. Clicked your links so the X should get a commission. Thanks for posting the engraving tools. I am going to be engraving the backs of the "coins" with names and hire/retirement date when I get them right. I just have to pick out a...

Do you know which ones you like? There are so many options of endmill. I try to buy on Amazon when I can. Any fly cutters or face cutters on Amazon you like? I didn’t see the one you recommended there.

Ouch. That endmill I broke today was a $40 cobalt. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just found this guy. I was looking for something different (grizzly G2861) but I think this is for that job too. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

@OCD Solutions I need a facing tool. Any one in particular you like? The only thing that came with the machines was for resurfacing the spoil board for the router and I don't want to use that on aluminum. I used a 1/2" endmill for practice but that is quite obviously not the right tool for the...

The changes I made made a big difference I think. Looking at the top circle on these 2 parts went from an absolute mess to nice and round. However, I made some changes to my CAM before running it again and I broke the bit. The center clearing increasing from 1mm to 2mm depth was good, but the...

I spent a lot of time today coming up short... but some progress. I checked my Mach 3 and there were no backlash settings. I ended up with YZ 0.001 and X 0.002 for backlash. Learned some g-code doing it. Specifically G00 X0.01. I also learned that this is not a movement but rather a move to...

Obviously this is far from exceptional but this is the first part I have ever CNCed so I am pretty pleased with the outcome. I didn’t hurt myself or break anything so I’m calling it a success. It has taken a lot to get this far. Other than some texts with OCD and the guy who sold me the...

Does that bother you more or less than their armor doing absolutely nothing?

If you want me to answer your questions, you are going to have to ask them in English, K, thanks. I definitely realize it's not like 3D printing. I'm just busting your chops with that. My 3D printer I plugged it in and went nuts, and 3 years later, I still know a lot less than I want to. This...

Oh, no, I know. That’s why I went super cheap on the polycarbonate. Just unfortunately because I’m in a trailer with a wood floor and I can’t move anything, I have to try to keep the mess contained from day one. The mill is the easy part too. The router is going to be a nightmare if I cut...

I think Boyer is super jealous of my enclosure. He won’t admit it, but I know he wishes his had 3D printed parts in his too. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’ve never had a nice shop. For years I worked in a driveway or under tarps. Finally bought a house with a carport but my cabinets and tools rust. This is my shop I have been working on. 8.5x16x8 V-nose dual axel. Over the last 2 months I took it apart entirely, wire wheeled any frame rust and...

Generally I only use PLA. The ABS has too much warp and delam over the size of the parts I have used. Although I haven't tried ABS again since I have a lot more experience. I do still have warping with PLA on larger stuff, but almost no delamination. Mainly I get my strength from assemblies...

How is the strength working out compared to FDM? I have 200 and a 500mm FDM printers but have no experience with SLA.

Good job. The X2 is a weird machine. Every one handles wildly differently. It's the only boat I can ride one but struggle to ride another. Looks like you have that one pretty dialed in. Have it handling well and sounds crisp. What are you using to get the data overlay? What do you have for a...

I really like a screw driver that just takes 1/4" bits and buy the has every size milwalkee kit. I have been pretty happy with all my milwalkee bits and then the driver is just whatever you find comfortable. My favorite screwdriver was a 1/4" bit by husky but it's discontinued. Tips weren't...

I sent a text to the number I have. Edit: it's no good anymore.
