Works for me, tracert 81.29.84.220 from shell and see where it times out.

Milhead, Do you guys in the US have a source for drawn and polished Bright Steel bar? I know it's a lot cheaper than Ground Drill Rods and surely would be better than what you are using on your rails...

:(

Umm, North Americans are using about 10 times the energy per capita of china! and they use about 40% of the energy consumption of all the combined OECD countries. About 20% of all energy used on our...

Nice little touch probe, how accurate is it? I have a manual one that spins in a chuck and use your eyeballs, i made by joining a ball on the end of a 6mm C45 rod, i can get within 0.02mm most of the...

fizzissist,

You forgot to add whatever he makes from his other companies, Virgin Records, Virgin Mobile, Virgin Credit, Virgin Galactic, Virgin Cola, Virgin Vodka, Virgin fuel..Virgin ect ect..i...

Probably a good idea to fit some covers.

While we are here talking about co2, consider this. The H2 cell bus above after traveling 187miles would produce 0 grams of CO2, 0 grams of CO, 0 grams of NoX and 0 grams of Hydrocarbon.

A light...

Are you considering the "net energy" used over the life of the fuel cell? sure like solar cells they have high cost and may take more energy to produce but over their life times the amount of clean...

We have hydrogen powered electric fuel cell buses in our cities, they have a big pipe out the back where clean steam shoots up and out it's amazing to see. The hydrogen is produced by electrolysis...

During the welding process the metals are heated and expand, when they are joined together and allowed to cool they can't go back to their original shape as the other piece is preventing this from...

Have a look over some of the US builds in the forums and you should get an idea of what's being used. In Australia where everything is very hard to find we can get cheap Italian 1070ozin MAE's and...

Well, We Australians also have huge Asses, cept we call them Arses, so that can't be the reason for your Monster sized vehicles. I had a look at an Ford F350 at an expo and i could almost fit my car...

Just curious what the price of Gas is in your country? over here we pay about $US4.00 per US Gallon, we mostly drive 4 and 6 cylinder cars.

I have seen the size of some of Americas vehicles and...

You guys probably already know this but i will bring it up anyway. When metals are welded together or cast they have a tendancy to move around a little for some time afterwoods. One way to solve...

Tree? what's that? never heard of it, i'm thinking of calling my device the "solar powered carbon dioxide to carbon and oxygen self regulating clean running self expanding conversion plant" or just...

Hmm what we'd need is some type of Chlorophyll device that could convert the CO2 to Carbon and Oxygen and it'll have to be very efficient, maybe solar powered? You'd need a lot of these things. Some...

Please take a pic so we can see what it is you are playing with, i think you have either an end mill or a slot drill.

I'd imagine something like that would keep moving if the power failed whilst it was rapiding...crunch.

Umm, i'd actually feed it higher than 0.0002, i'd consider 0.001" and see how it cuts, on larger cutters 0.006" would be great but these smaller things self destruct.

4000 x 0.001 x 2 = 203...

Nah, the feed rate would be 8000(rpm of cutter ) x 0.0002" (depth of cut per tooth per revolution per minute) x 2 (number of teeth on your cutter) = 3.2"/min (feed rate 81.28mm/min)

The cutter's...

Depends, what are you going to cut with it? Are the screws an ACME or a Ballscrew?

I'd be happy with 550 ozin if it had ballscrews, double if i were planning on cutting aluminium. If it had ACME...

What are you building it from, how big will it be, what are you planning to cut with it.

There are a bunch of circuit...

M'kay, i downloaded their deflectromatic calculometer and used (1515)1.5"x1.5" 80/20 over 30", this gave me 0.014" deflection in the centre whith 100lb weight. Given there are two beams sitting flat...

Ive never had great results with WD40 or KERO, i use either a premix cutting fluid or even tap magic. But, wd40 is better than nothing at all, someone suggested crisco!? never tried. Anyway, like...

Sure 80/20 Flexes, so does anything else.. The real question is: How much does 80/20 Flex and is it too much? Well, to answer this i did some googling and discovered somewhere in of one of these...

Hmm, Cutting speed for 6061 is about 165 FPM for millingwith HSS so a 0.040" should be spinning somewhere around ~17krpm.

What machine are you using? Consider mounting a high speed mini drill...

Grumpy, I calculated you didn't get enough sleep again!

It's 340 x 430 mm or 13.385826771653543307086614173228" x 16.929133858267716535433070866142" in Americanos dimensions.


You can purchase a cabinet stand made especially for the X3. It'll...

Hmm, i volunteer my reputation for negatives if anyone want's to neg me. I'm curious to see what would happen? will the green spot disapear or turn another colour? will i get sent a warning or just...
