Sauce, that is a really nice build you have there. The paint color is awesome and your craftsmanship is excellent.

I understand your frustration with the necessary software to be able to make...

A friend of mine bought this in a box of stuff at an auction. We have no idea what it is for. The hand crank spins the fixture that hold various round objects. There is a swing arm that looks like it...

I am selling a 3 axis controller that I got from an industrial inspection machine that was obsolete and scrapped....

If you right click on the ribbon, and then click on Ribbon Appearance, and then check the No Text option, it should turn off the text.

No, I haven't gotten a chance to work on it. Other things seem to be more important to me right now. When I do work on it some more, I'll be sure and post pictures and keep this thread up to date on...

Those particular machines were sold in 2007, shortly after this thread was started.

tr4252,

I am not sure I can be of much help to you on this, but from looking at your machine and noticing that there is no adjustment of the "Z" (the grinding wheel), you might have better luck...

That air nozzle isn't exactly OSHA approved is it.

How deep is the rectangular spiral groove? I think this could probably be done on a 4-axis machine. Just involves rotating the cone as the groove is cut. You would get a slight radius in the bottom...

universalfab,

You are on a FREE forum, getting the oportunity to quote these jobs for FREE, and there is thousands of posts with information about all sorts of topics for FREE. So yeah, someone is...

This coming from the guy who has spent 10 times more time complaining about how much time he has wasted quoting a job that he know he isn't going to get in the first place.

As for the annoying...

dualkit,

I don't know why you feel so strongly about what I do with my time and my money. If you don't like it don't give YOUR time or money away for free. I don't exactly know where you get this...

Not only is the aftermarket automotive business saturated with high numbers of sellers, but the CNC machining market is also super-saturated with high numbers of small shops looking for that next...

I would really like to hear from the person who got this job. Not to find out the specific price, but to find out how it is that they can do the job so cheap and still make money. I'd be willing to...

If someone has a machine just sitting around gathering dust, why wouldn't they take on a job that might turn into something else later? There are a lot of ways to make such a simple part. The...

Here is a little something that I made while I had nothing else going on in the shop. They are made of 4130 steel. I machined the holes and the OD while they were one piece, then machined the...

I don't know anything about this kind of certification, but it's the same way with all the quality certifications. A company has to put out thousands to become certified, and for what? I wonder how...

Cool sign, nice work. What are the letters behind the words? H T ?

I've had a little bit of luck with getting work from here on CNC Zone, I have also given a little bit of work to people I only know on here. The jobs may not be big jobs, but work is work, and money...

I haven't done much work on the axe. I took some pictures of it with one of the fretboards taped to it to see how it looked with a drak fretboard. I'll see if I can mock-up a clear maple fretboard...

Thanks RomanLini !

I kept trying to figure out how to get white onto stain. I wasn't thinking about black on clear, that might look pretty good, but even if I didn't do the black, any color on the...

I was considering an unstained maple fingerboard. I am currently having trouble with the fingerboard though. I have made four of them and each one had different problems. The first one warped and...

Getting just the right color with this dye is very difficult. It dries darker than it is when applied, and it gets lighter with clear coat.

I wanted the dark stripes in the Maple, so I did a very...

I really enjoyed working with this ABS binding. I ordered it from Stew-mac. I didn't get the glue they recommend because I read about "binding goop", which is basically some of the ABS dissolved into...

I set the fingerboard aside and started to work on the truss rod. I machined the truss rod slot for a piece of rod the I had bought fror $2. This is a rod that is used for a screen door to keep the...

With the body and neck fit together it was time to figure out what to do about the headstock. I wasn't sure I wanted to use the same head shape as the CAD file, but I was anxcious to see the neck...

After the glue dried, I sawed away some of the excess material and then screwed the neck blank to a 2x6 board, by drilling holes up thru the 2x6 into what would be the truss rod slot. This way I can...

I had researched making the neck and there are several different ways to create the neck angle. I could cut the entire neck from a thick plank, cut several profiles from a thin plank and then stack...
