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) |

My machinist friend here in town has been working on my stepper motor mounts.
I thought I'd add a couple of pictures of it as my path to making the emblems progress. Attached thumbnail(s) |

Hey that there LoveJoy coupler you are using. Do you ruin lots of the rubber inserts by having space between them like that? I use L075's on my gold dredge. If there is ANY space there, I'll eat two rubber inserts per day. |

It hasn't been run at all with the steppers attached. take a closer look at the pictures and you can see how the mounts are adjustable. The gap for the lovejoys will disappear. |
