I've heard this before...hoping to have a normal heart beat by this weekend...hence the reason for holding off building the dial. :-)

Yes, I see exactly what you're saying. Mostly transparent. Let me whip up a draft....thanks for the idea!

I like your thinking....I'm going to stew over that one tonight....and do some drafts tomorrow....like it!

Hi Folks,

About four months ago I set off to build a wooden gear clock based on Brian Law's Clock #7. I have most of the parts made, and I'm starting to put the clock together. The last piece that...

I took the plunge, bought a 4848. This thing is great. The quality is amazing. These parts are top notch, to say the least. What's even better is the service and support. These guys are are doing it...

Iron-Man,

Is the Midi going to...

Does anyone happen to know the pitch for the screws and nuts used in the mini mill? Just got mine today and I'm trying to get the Mach3 settings right so that I can test this little guy out.
...

I can't wait! I have my electronics working fine, tuned to the max, a fresh registered copy of Mach3, and I sense a cold coming on....perhaps a couple of sick days from work coming very very soon! :)

They look great!

Guys,

Hi Brenon,

I too have one of Eric's masterpieces coming soon. I went over to Hobbby CNC and got a setup similar to the one you're looking at. I already had a power supply so I just needed the...
