CNC LATHE... anyone have use of one??

dang. cool Bret. thanks.

 

I am going to get a quote on steel Monday and I will tell you how much the pieces will run.I figured thats what your roll looked like.Had a coworker that ran his hand through one of those things and made a real mess of his little finger.Folks lets be carefull out there.

 

Btt

 

Hey

Ive looked every where for the plans but cant seem to find them. Im pretty sure I drew it up in autocad but I cant seem to find them. I may have built it and designed as I went. I do it that way too some times. I may have burned it to a disk and insted of copy and paist I cut and paiseted it. If I get some time I will look on some of my disks for it.

I made my rollers from c.r.s. and they are fine. I can always get them carborized if I want too. But the way I figure it is Im not earning a living with it ,and although its super handy sometimes your not going to use it a whole lot.

 

C.R.S. Corrosion Resistant Steel? Or is it you claiming to have forgotten? I suffer from the C.R.S. syndrome myself sotimes.

 

Cold Rolled Steel = c.r.s

 

Very modest.

 

That's exactly what I was thinking, but I wasn't going to say anything . . . . .

 

Hey Kustom!
Realizing you're (still, but hopefully not for long) 2500 miles away...Craigslist Austin has a "knee" mill for sale -with both manual and cnc hookups for 1200 bucks.

and get in touch with KoolKat. he does that sort of stuff for a livin.
He's also the type of guy that if asked nicely could probably write the code out here for you...while groggy. or drunk. (He's reeeally good at this shit.)

 

good to know and glad to hear SOMEONE would be glad to see me in the land of cool cars, great music and NO SNOW!!!!! i THINK i have it fingered out. gonna try it the opld fashioned way. let ya know how it works. SUPER excited to get a Hosfeld bender in the mail in a day or two from a SUPER awesome HAMBer i've never even met. damn some people are just amazing. just when i'm loosing faith in the human race someone goes and does something truely amazing!!

If I thought I could have paid ya what you are worth, I would have hired you that day, Mains.

see you at the Round up?

 

Go to www.pro-tools.com they have a few nice ones you can buy or steal some ideas from, also www.tricktools.com they also have a few nice ones. Infact pro tools is a really good company, they will probably sell you the dies you need. They are preety easy to build if you have the tools to build one.

 

Ahh, makes sense, thank you.

 

What size are the shafts on your machine?

 

Jeez, I'm a CNC programmer/operater, but I'm nowhere near "God" status. I just make parts...

 

i'll have to revisit this project. it got stalled when i could'nt get the wheels made. i'll get back to you Shane.
