Maker Faire 2015 - Meetup?

[Mphenley]

Hey guys, everything looks great! Getting a bit less busy lately, so hopefully I can get back to the metal

Too bad I'm busy Saturday... But I'll try to get over there on Sunday, at least.

I wish I had joined this group earlier, I would have liked to help. Unfortunately I work till 2pm both days. Maybe next year? I am going to try and drop by though. Probably Sunday. Best of luck for the weekend though.

Great idea bud. Just finished the cap program. It is going to be a fun day again. Hopefully we crank out a pile of nice parts.

Images I gathered over the weekend!
The little matchstick holder is what we were working on at the booth during demonstrations etc.


Finished with O-ring for water protection.

Thanks for posting pictures Josh that was a great weekend. I hope you sprayed your mill down with oil. I wasted off a can of WD40 on my CNC turning center just to be sure none of it could rust, it got a little damp. Modern tool were picking up there beautiful 4 axis machining center on a day with rain in the forecast. Hopefully they didn't get wet too. still drooling over the cnc mill they lent us. If I can put that to work in the future I'll be down there buying it with a huge grin.

 

[Jwest7788]

Of course!

Yeah, I went through half a can too. Should I be worried about behind the vise jaws or anything? hmm :/ I'll take them off today now that I am thinking about it. haha
For discussion, what is the proper solution to surface rust on a milling table? or any other surface that should be true?


That CNC they lent us really was awesome, I'm sure they would have planned for the rain.

 

[Alexander]

Using a nice flat honing stone and making a x pattern while you scrub off surface rust is good. You should try lubricating the stone with water soluble cutting fluid too to prevent loading the stone with dirt. If you don't have that consider spraying the stone with brake cleaner to get the gunk out if the pores.

This is what happens when I get sick, distracted, and acquire a puppy.... inordinate delays!

In any case, here's a photo album:

Let me know if you can't see them, and I'll upload them directly.
