Just add coolant to get that different sound lol. I like the sounds of air and high speed machining in the morning. High octane fuel with a stick in the evenings...

I agree with @historicalarms From a hobby/timing standpoint, this could make sense. From a cost effective standpoint, I would look at purchasing, spend the extra time making other things.

Oh... you nailed it when machining with a ball nose. 4 flute are worse than 2 flt, that's why I always choose a 2 flute lol. Since I never wear boots anymore. I find getting them out of my socks and feet are the most fun. The body just doesn't want to bend and twist in that many ways. Even...

Take your time in this economy, some people are buying just about anything for ridiculous prices. I would save your $$ for a least 6-8 months, then, I'm sure you will see much better deals. I would stay away from the combo's , but that's just me. Jus' my thoughts thou...

Nothing new here in Chintario, we just continue to pay 'n' pay while they continue to take 'n' pull away. Ohhh, the push back is..... Ok, Welders, I'm far from ever being a welder but, Jus' sayin', My daughter recently bought me a Mastercraft mig and flux core welder for my birthday. She is a...

Nice work considering it was done on a CNC router. The surface finish is much better than I would have thought given the rigidity. My questions have been answered. Thank you for posting.

When you programmed your 1 way boxed toolpath. Do you have an option for optimization? It may not matter with the part you machined, but, If so, optimization will leave you a much better uniform 3D sidestep finish when travelling in 1 direction. You won't see a greater sidestep when travelling...

I wonder why they hammered STL file imports, I suppose they can no longer support some translators within the CAD ? If I design and machine in Mastercam, I can regenerate without too much problem. However, I would have to generate a new CAM file as well if I make a design change in Solid works...

Looks great, Nice work! Looks like the software you are using has decent capabilities.

I agree with others to make your own as needed. 4140 is decent enough material for t-nuts, although mine are made from A2 and heat treated. I find S7 threaded rod is much better than the studs offered in any set available on the market these days.
