That is an awesome machine! Imagine all the special bits and pieces that could be made....

My dad has a 4 axis cnc milling machine for work.

He's been trying to think up bits and pieces that he could do! any ideas?

Engine covers etc.?

[crimbo]

That is bloody brilliant!

[V8Dom]

they got one of the those at my old company and they are still trying to work out how to use it1!!!!!!

its nothing like a 3 axis to program and so complicated.... mind you has anyone here been watching american hotrod on the quest channel with the water jet cutter!!!!!

Mines only a 3 axis but will be making a 4th axis soon... Just rebuilding it now, freshen up with new controls etc...


Yes I do look good..........

Looks like Windsor Davies has lost Lofty

I dont know the first thing about making stuff, but that is seriously impressive

Think this is better given our obsession with V8s

Haven’t watched the utube link as am blocked at work, but it Sounds like you are talking about some form of robotic arm.

You need to look into Devant-Hartenberg kinematics to determine how to control it. It’s just matrix algebra when it comes down to it. A bit of software programming to work out the individual steps of each controller/axis. Haven’t worked out how you convert that to g-code but it shouldn’t be too hard. Might not be real quick tho
