do you buy them in preformed blocks?

Also can you cast your own? Like those spray on stuff for house insulation?

Maybe its a barriers to entry kind of thing where they want to quickly throw out or not consider as many applicants. But it does seem like all the CNC machinist jobs look for the cert though or at...

let us know how good it smells and what it smells like during and after milling.

I am wondering if there is a free version of solid works available for learning purposes. It doesnt need to be able to export anything. Just want to learn the interface.

price is their biggest downfall. ~$800 before tax and delivery is steep. People around here consider bigger mills like the X2 too small even. For $800 you can get a proper benchtop mill, albiet not...

I was talking more into quality of evidence in general. I didnt really fall 'victim' to 'notes of customers'. They essentially wrote some BS to cover their ass and it was not how it went down since I...

I looked at the roland store and their cutting tools are a major ripoff. If you are buying replacement tools and you want them for cheap, check out ebay. I dont know what diameter shank they take but...

In Canada and ontario, is it necessary to have professional certification to be a CNC machinist?

In particular, I know the ontario ministry of training specifies that the Certificate of...

Are all CAM software and file types the same as far as precision work is concerned?

Obviously STL files are no good for precision work if it involves a lot of round or circular features since they...

I know they can be entered as evidence and then both sides will argue the validity. In this day and age I dont see how internal notes written by the business in private (without agreement or...

I know that price fixing by collusion with competitors is illegal because it eliminates healthy competition that serves customers better. But you seem to be talking about price discrimination? I am...

You can also sell your debt owed to collections right?

Or 'factoring' where you sell your invoices to companies?

Yeah, i'd imagine it needed to be higher diameter but it may not be offered conventionally. Or you can dampen it out a bit.

The biggest problem with rack and pinion might be resolution and...

What about the flip side, should customers have a say about the gcode also?

If you price a job per the hour of machining time and you have a poorly programed code running a couple of minutes...

On the flip side about note taking about customers, how does others or in strict legal terms the courts know whether you (the business or employee of said business) have not willfully or ignorantly...

so a DIY large footprint (5'x10') router with all the spindle, vacuum and steppers, something like 5Kish then?

It looks like some of the ones you pointed to uses rack and pinion for linear...

Yeah I know large wood pieces (real wood planks) are glued together for building larger furniture or door etc.

I mean after they are put to size, the CNC can help square edges, face off surfaces...

I'm wondering how people surface coat or treat their metal parts they fabricate in the machine shop. Maybe get a third party to do it? And how much would they cost? I suppose some kinda ion implanter...

What was the biggest footprint DIY router that you have built and what cost do you project them (mechanics only).

I want to build a router for furniture cutting so it has to at least accommodate...

roland has a line of desktop CNC mills too that you can look into. Not too bad but most of them cant do heavy metal work. Aluminum should be ok though. Plus you will be taking shallow passes anyway....

I agree. Somewhere around 300-500 dollars and they will get my sale. The current list price is around $800, which includes proprietary CAD and CAM side. I also dont know if it will accept being run...

I like how they zero the z axis. Just unscrew the set screw and drop the cutter to touch the workpiece. Dont you wish you can do this on your mill too. No need for Z height offset sensors or the...

Check out the Roland iModela:

"iModela" is a completely new digital craft tool that implements these ideas by...

Those normal air compressors are LOUD. They are louder than my mill.

Is there a quiet solution to getting electrically operated compressed air?

I have a piece of steel that was somehow magnitized and now the chips are clogging up the cutting process. I know you may suggest demagnitization but it gets magnized again, I suppose from being...

how much is smartcam?

their website is support only and no sales or pricing anywhere

does it (and other jig saws alike) have the ability to cut through thick aluminum?

Will slowing down the manual feed help?

is lazyturn still available for download or purchase?

How much did the bobcad bundle cost you? 2kish?

It seems there arnt as many options for turning cam as there are for 3 axis milling cam....

I want a small machine shop tool that can rough cut aluminum or brass extrusions to size for a milling machine.

Space is a big factor in this, then price follows.

I am looking at the Rockwell...

if youre using a conventional single cutting edge boring tool, how do you determine the cutting diameter before making a cut? Or do you drill a hole, go low by eyeballing the radius setup, then bore,...
