For Christmas I scored a Jet Hobby Mill to go with all of my stepper motors and CAD-CAM software and 3-d scanner.
I still need to get the correct collet and end mills; but I'm quite excited to get started machining some parts. Does anyone have a 914 emblem I can borrow? Someone was wanting a 914-8 machined, and I need a 914 to scan and model to get to cutting out some aluminum parts. Also; does anyone have an R/C 914 setup? I'm planning on machining the Fuchs wheels out of aluminum and need someone to help me out with getting the offset and diameter just right. I'm also thinking of machining a 914-World emblem for the backs of our cars out of aluminum. If I do go for that, I'll snail one off to Eric first, get his opinion and stamp of approval. I've been studying online all of this stuff on CNC and machining and am quite excited to actually get going with some 'on hands' stuff! Any other suggestions, for things to carve out of some aluminum? Attached image(s) |

Jamie, wow! That's HUGE! What do you make with that?
Yes; we're aiming for the m0-4 chassis. (I think... is that the chassis that the group buy for the bodies was? ) |

(I think... is that the chassis that the group buy for the bodies was? ) Actually it looks big but is small compared to some of the others we have at work, I use this one the most, mostly mill and machine steel parts used for big progressive dies. I forgot the model name I think something like 50cv or something like that, its actually quite old and we bought it used around 10 years ago or so for 35,000 Dollars roughly. We have 5 other high end Okuma's that are for very detailed work and cost as much as a nice home. The Okuma machines are very easy to use with their OSP systems, none of that Fanuc stuff. |

I do like the older OSP controls, the new ones seem complictaed to me with the new panel. MC50VA i'll bet. Still, nothing wrong with a good old reliable Fanuc. I could see why you'd want Okuma, they are built in Nagoya. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) |
