Nah, they were just huge and awkward. If I need anything at some point, I will just make or buy it.

Has my logo now. Can't sorry.

The rest of the pics.

I have been looking for better cabinets for my garage machine shop for a long time. Most of the Listas I have been able to find are either very rough, way overpriced or both. I saw these at a local auction and while the pics were't the most flattering, I think it allowed me to scoop them up at...

Get a double chamfer mill or a threadmill and hit top and bottom (well technically left and right I guess) on op3.

Somehow I doubt it. I did get a tour today. I feel poor.

The Big plus HT spindle would have been nice haha. Time to start looking at Okumas.

The guy that hired me to machine did the welding and polishing. He knocked it out of the park.

Wrapped up the most stressful machining job I've done so far. Turned a 345 lb block of 316 stainless into two 43 lb parts for a giant yacht, all in 3 days. Worth it. Started out with parts that neatly fit into a 9" D x 7" thick round. After some last minute design changes, it turned into a...

Built a cart from Paul @ZTFab for my HTP 221. Don’t really have any in process pics, since I started tinkering and then just finished it up. If you’re looking for a rad welding cart, it’s worth it. Just picked it up from powdercoat the other day since I absolutely despise painting and have...

Simple stuff like that it would be minutes. Draw the key features off known dimensions or measure them real quick with calipers for something like that, then just pull into 3D. That part looks like maybe 3-4 tools if the hole is tapped. Super fast.

Yes x100. That being said, I still enjoy manual as well. Both are satisfying, but I could run that part in 10 minutes from grabbing stock to finished part. Not a knock on manual and that's a good looking part, but for the majority of stuff, there's no comparison.

My 3016 was a 10k. So that part was nice, but man, the control and workflow improvements on top of the speed are massive.

Oooooh, I'm going to have to get one of those.

This first op for these parts was right about 10 minutes. On the Speedio it’s about 3 min. With all the options it was right about 6 figures.
