re: #280 b_sharp

My mills are nowhere near as heavy or accurate as the one you likely used, but I’m using my larger mill to tweak the smaller unit to remove all play from the tables, as well as making mounts for the steppers.

The smaller unit uses 1/8

The one I actually used was very small. It was basically a demo model of what CNC technology could do. Obviously, I’d like to upscale to something that could handle large engine parts.

On a similar topic, one of the neatest pieces of technology I’ve ever seen, though I did not use it firsthand, was a 3D plastic printer. One of my old employers bought one and their R&D engineers would create mock-up parts on it. That would usually be good for a short break from work while everyone watched it building.
