Found Dreaming

Hi Harry: It is a terrible myth that anything is harder on a CNC than on a conventional machine. CNC's have a digital readout for each axis, and have variable speed power feed. The very best conventional machines have CNC controls attached. There is nothing that a conventional machine does that a CN...

I designed and built a CNC milling machine from scratch eight years ago. I did buy some solutions. A minimill head which interchanges with a Porter Cable router. I also bought a 4 axis kit from Xylotex. I got one Manual Pulse Generator from Chris Wood at Little Machine Shop and the rest I built from...

Thank you everybody for the kind comments. Sorry I have not been here in a while. The cabinets are indeed the $399 ones from Harbor Freight which were on sale for $359 each. So I bought six of them.

dallen: Thanks dude, you just saved me a lot of work and time and money and cuss words. Harry: Okey dokey, will do. I will start by removing all the thin sheet metal blades which I was dubious about even while making them. Then I will make a plate like you have and see how it does. My new blades wil...

Well fellas, it is like this. I am not at all happy with my muller. The welds on the mulling blade and plow blade supports are breaking and with water in the sand the bicycle chain falls off and makes me cuss. Then it picks up the whole mix and carries it around the inside of the tub making me cuss ...
