Bringing up the wall!

The intense heat here in Schertz, TX is what's keeping me from happily sitting in my shop for hours on end, which is required to program my machines. The solution is a fancy wall to keep in the A/C!





And finally, the cold air machine! Wahooo!

A new 4th [axis] on the 4th

The 4th axis project kicked into high gear this week. I found a good deal on this 6" cnc rotary table and tailstock, so about $400 and my eBay account made this happen in about 2 weeks!


I had this motor controller laying around, but after hooking everything up I realize that it's not compatible in a few different ways so it's coming out and another red one will be in the mail soon :-)




In honor of Shark Week, I have decided to test my new 4 axis CNC with this fun project. A little teaser for my readers!



 Some older pics of things from the past few weeks.
