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) |

@Tom; thanks for the tip! The electronic piece that is going off to Dr Evil is my 4 axis controller. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) The wheels will be getting made on the setup you're referring to. i'll look over the Taig site for sure, anything that helps me learn the easy way is a good thing.
@underthetire... sounds like a couple of people scored some really good deals. how often are the company auctions? |

Once a month. I need to get on the list myself. There is some really nice slightly older machines heading over to the recycling center this week through next month. |
