I have set up some experiments and hopefully will get some time to cast over the next couple of days. I am also planning to have some samples tested for flexural strength. Would be interesting to see how close my material is to the pros :-) Probably not nearly as strong as the pro stuff, as I still have air trapped in my concrete. I need better (stronger) vibrating motors for my table.
I think I pretty much know what to do to get to a reasonable cast part. My biggest concern now is good procedures for mounting and aligning components to the cast base. I hope we can share practical ideas and experiences about this.
My first project will be a CNC lathe.
Best regards
Jacob
