Me too! Have to finish off the CAD design for the frame today and make sure it's going to hold up to the forces involved. My current plan is: 1. Frame out of welded box steel 2. Rails [on order from china] 3 .mounting plates (for motors, bearings, rods etc): laser cut from either MDF or plywood. 4. ??? 5. Profit That should get the machine more or less up and running, and allow me to mill new mounting plates (very slowly, the wood mounting plates won't be that great) out of aluminium. Using the machine to build the machine. It's like Skynet or something. Profit. ▪ ┌────┐ ┌────┐ │ │ │ │ ▪ │ └────┘ │ │ ──┐ ┌── │ ▪ ┌──────┤ ▪ ▪ │ ┌┘ │ │ ▪ ┌─┤ └──┐ │ │ ┌──┘ │ │ │ ││ ││ │ ┌─┐ │ │ └─┼┤ └┴─┴───┘ │ │ │ ─┘│ │ │ │ ┌──────┐ └┬──────────┘ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ └───┘ └───┘ If Feds call you and say something bad on me, it may prove what I said are truth, they are afraid of it.

I'd like one. How much?

Did you ever see such a messed up situation in your whole life, son?

That sounds a bit high for just everything. Maybe I'll see if I can find a better price somewhere else.

So here's a very rough plan of my X and Y frame. Lots of bits either missing or simplified, and I'm also a bit worried about how much the Y axis is going to weigh if I make it out of steel. Might need to switch to aluminium for that part. But at least I've got the dimensions sussed and have something to work from for welding shit up (hopefully tomorrow). ▪ ┌────┐ ┌────┐ │ │ │ │ ▪ │ └────┘ │ │ ──┐ ┌── │ ▪ ┌──────┤ ▪ ▪ │ ┌┘ │ │ ▪ ┌─┤ └──┐ │ │ ┌──┘ │ │ │ ││ ││ │ ┌─┐ │ │ └─┼┤ └┴─┴───┘ │ │ │ ─┘│ │ │ │ ┌──────┐ └┬──────────┘ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ └───┘ └───┘ If Feds call you and say something bad on me, it may prove what I said are truth, they are afraid of it.

We are a prototyping and testing department for one of the largest cutting tools manufacturers in the world. We manufacture prototypes and we test them in steels and composite materials. We also support customers if they have difficult applications. I was directly involved in designing and developing the drill in the first video, including, simulation and the creation of the 3D models in NX.

We are based at the Advanced Manufacturing Park in Sheffield. We have a work experience student for the summer and we are just taking on a new apprentice. (sorry). Go to Sandvik.com and register your C.V. More info, Steve in the video is a good friend of mine, and the AMRC is 100 metres from us.

I moved into the engineering department at 37 and graduated with a 2:1 Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Engineering at 42 (all payed for by the company). I did the degree on day release so it took 5 years. So you could say I got here in 16 years.
