This IS production now. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I'll be shipping them out before October is over. They are high priority so I can move on to the next project.

There are 12 sets and at the moment half of them are spoken for.

Where can I get a resistor like this?

This is how far I got before the resistor had too many heat cycles and failed. The vibrations and heat cycles...


And I was making such good progress! The ones on the far left have both front and rear rough cuts done.

THe middle ones have the back cuts done, and the far right are the right size of blanks. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

If the color from right to left is: brown, green, red, gold the value is 1.5K ohms +/- 5%. Hard to tell in your picture. http://www.mouser.com/?cm_mmc=google-_-ppc...CFQd6gwod_URr4g

seems like everytime I start making progress on these I find a new 'weak link' in my mill.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

new spindle controller and spindle motor were required from that resistor repair gone bad. pics coming up...

This is what I got accomplished today. The Super PID came from New Zealand and will allow me to control the spindle speed from the same computer that controls the mill.

This is very exciting; I can't wait to order one for my desk. Will you have the option of buying them with appropriate cool tires?
Thanks and good luck.

That's cool Jim. It's always interesting to see what your up against. Your not only milling custom wheels your building your mill and controller. Way over my head.

I took a break to work on 'me'. :-)

Zach, can you post a link to my photo album that documents what I just overcame?

I am posting from my phone while working on the wheels...

I can get back to work now, I hope.

Zach's been watching the pics...

and knows I am working on the wheels this week. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

They say what doesn't kill us make us stronger but.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) Good to read your back doing something. I believe doing something rewarding and brings the feeling of accomplishment is one of our healing powers. Do a little everyday. It will make you smile. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

In short, Jim has gone from this:
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/a5.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net-1435-1322788484.1.jpg)

to this:
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/a8.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net-1435-1322788484.2.jpg)

And a whole bunch of personal as well as health turn arounds as well.

I don't know the whole story, but I know its been a heck of a rough ride.
