@trystykat 60c for 24hrs does though. in reply to trystykat 00:01:16, 2010-08-14
I have a milling machine! (Some re-assembly required) 15:38:59, 2010-08-14
Having all the workshop lights dim when I turn the mill on is quite humbling. Time for a UPS on the workshop PC. 16:25:44, 2010-08-14
There's a weld that's a bit too proud for the table to sit flush. Where'd the grinder? 16:41:09, 2010-08-14
Must ask seller if they have a list of the parts origins. Some fabbed from angle-iron, some big lathe parts. What lathes would be helpful. 17:01:16, 2010-08-14
X-Y table needs a teardown, clean, re-paint & some proper leadscrew packing pieces. Paint flakes everywhere. Also better handles. Ow. 17:16:33, 2010-08-14
DAP doesn't like files with odd characters in the name. Orbit Downloader's "Download all" still just opens their homepage. Is it that hard? 18:17:43, 2010-08-14
Found some thick angle-iron & going to try making some vice clamps. 18:19:10, 2010-08-14
X-Y table has 16mm slots. Aprox 25mm/1" at the T. Trying to design clamps to fit. Yikes. 18:34:47, 2010-08-14
The X-Y is missing a bearing. Will definitly have to strip it down and rebuild. Also my cutters are hugely undersized for this thing. 19:24:20, 2010-08-14
Using 10" circular bench saw.. Thing frightens the hell out of me. 21:32:20, 2010-08-14
That thing's a 2HP ungaurded nightmare. But it does cut well. 21:38:14, 2010-08-14
@trystykat No. I think it ate it. o_o in reply to trystykat 22:09:51, 2010-08-14
