    Something crazy happend today, i did one of those findings at the scrapyard that seems impossible. 126 SKF bearings ranging from Ø20 to 150mm. Some of the boxes are dirty and falling apart, but the bearings are brand new and sealed in platic.

    Take a guess, how much did a pay and how much is it worth?

    Pulled myself together to start terminating the wires and misc. stuff. Its those small details...

    Close, i paid the equivalent of 170$ My first estimate was that there was bearings for around 1000$, but after counting them and looking up the prices it turns out that the total value is 6550$!!!! Talk about finding gold in the trash!

    Did some more designing of the turret. From the picture you may grasp the basic idea of how the live tooling will work. Ill try and use a motor from a powertool. Im only aiming for light cuts and off center drilling. The motor will go on top or behind the turret and connect via belts and pullies to a shaft that again connects to the spindle itself. I have to figure out how the interlocking between the spindle and shaft will work.

    From CNC


    On another note, i decided to buy a KX3 as soon as i get a job again. Including shipping and the basic such as a vise, clamping set and misc. it will cost me around 3800£ ~5430$, so its definitly going to be the largest investment in this hobby i made so far

    So are you going to impregnate it with cyanoacrylate for strength?

    But seriously, great build, Guldberg. It's great that you can prototype the more involved parts before cutting ferrous metal.

    I did some work on the pneumatic for the turret. I made a quick release coupling next to the power plug.

    From CNC


    It then runs to the other cabinet where the solenoid valve is placed
    From CNC


    Finally it runs along with the wires to the top, where its easy accessible along with the gounding wire.
    From CNC



    On another and more interesting note, ive put down the money for a KX3 along with a precision vise, a coolant system, a clamping set, a 5" chuck and a pair of parallelbars. Total price 3459£...auch. Now im waiting for the beast. Will be sure to make a thread, havent seen many on the KX3

    I turned one of the bearings for the turret with a little help from this akward setup. Its a 4-jaw adjustable chuck in a standard 3 jaw chuck.
    From CNC


    Came out quite nice. I also turned a little plug that fit tight in the hole and in the spindle of my little router, thereby centering it perfectly to drill the holes.
    From CNC


    I like the look of the combination of steel and brass
    From CNC


    I also recieved 3 small er16 collet chucks for the lathe turret and a larger er32 R8 for the KX3 mill

    I recieved a new shipping of material free of charge from my uncle.

    First a load of tool steel. The square is 60x60 and the diameters are 80 and 150. Must have cost a fortune
    From CNC


    And some more square tubing

    With all this nice material at hand i decided to make the worlds largest steelwool sponge

    From CNC


    It only took two hours or so with a carbide insert at 1.5mm per pass, nice blue chips. You can imagine why I made a little dance when one of these landed between my neck and the shirt. Trying to pick it out it burnt through the end of my nail and into my finger
    From CNC


    From 80mm to ~21mm. I will continue another day, finishing off with a standard insert
