very neat setup. I hope that works for you.

Thankee! It seems to work pretty well, actually. The pieces i machined today were perfect, except I machined them backwards! DOH!!! *GRRRR*

but at least they were perfectly backwards! :P

'Tis a thing of beauty ^_^

Nice!

loriana October 16 2006, 02:50:20 UTC

Indeed it be. *HUGS*

It seems to work well so far!

Now only if my brain did.

sweet. I always wanted to do something like that.

I just need to convince white that I need a mill.

There's a definite mechanical geekiness gap there. I'd just take it as a given that you need a mill.

A lot more useful than some silly tie, suit, or such.

Yep.. everyone needs a mill! :)

Oh great, so you *do* a streak of geekiness, albeit a geek of machine tools! ;o)

(quite useful, actually...)

Cool! Congrats on getting it to work!

loriana October 16 2006, 02:53:32 UTC

Danke! Yes, indeed I am happy to finally have the machine set up for easier work. BUT... two things were proven tonight.

First... all the tools in the world cant save operator error.

Second... the DRO works PERFECTLY.

How did I prove this??? I machined the stinken panel BACKWARDS!
.... but.... Perfectly backwards at that ;P
