I check the mailbox daily with anticipation!

my blog has pictures of what I've been doing while I wait. The router table has been getting some use of the linux box and router/spindle motor. I've been running it WOT at 35k RPM and cutting at 200-240 ipm through .25 inch plywood to cut some 3d puzzles. not goin to post pics here, just to stay this thread on focus of the wheels.

yeah... I've been going nuts waiting for the optical sensors.

I switched from one cad cam software to another, and from my mini mill to a HAAS VF2.

a friend on the other side of the mountain let me come play for a day, so provided I had a learning curve from completely switching setups, I'd say i had a pretty productive trip.

I'll be back over there in a week or so. I managed to get the code down to 12 minutes for the front side of the wheel. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I think the last step I need to do is adjust the X/Y tolerences for the final finishing pass with the .125" ball nose, and the fronts will be perfected for the machining center.
