Hello, My name is Burton, I am an amature machinist, I have a 7 x 12 lathe and a 9 x 22 shortly on its way. I have a Grizzly mini mill converted to CNC, I am into model engine building, gas or steam, I am big into RC anything, I have 1/32 scale up to 1/4 scale. I am currently working on a couple of engines, A four cycle 7/16 stroke and bore. A 5 cylinder radial. Modifying a 23cc 2 cycle for a 1/5 scale 2wd buggy. I am into turbine engines, I have built three, one is turbocharger based (Garrett T4) for a 1/4 scale tractor puller. The other two have turned out to be better garage heaters than engines. A lot of my RC vehicles are custom made on the CNC mill. I have a few helis and planes, I am better at building them than flying them. I make most of my tooling due to cost and the good feeling of making something useful. The majority of my time right now goes into my 5 month old daughter and everything that goes along with her. As the name says -I modify everything- -B- |

Hi there Burton, :wave: welcome to the collective :borg: Nice to see some pics of your work, I'd love to see some of your CNC mill conversion as well as that is something I am planning to do to my mill :thumbup: Tim |

Here are some temporary mounts for the steppers and the driver cabinet I built for it. I am using Mach 3, I have MasterCAM but I dont like it as much. I dont have any build pics but when I make the new mounts I will document. The universals on the steppers are from Traxxas drive shafts, I have since built aluminum ones but I havent installed them yet. -B- |

Hi Burton, Have seen you at the other place. :) Welcome to the collective, as we fondly like to call it. :borg: We'll assimulate anybody. :lol: Nice work. Hope you'll use the oppertunity to expand your hobbies here. I'm into a few things too. I'm building a electric powered rescue boat to rescue my speed boat when the engine dies. I', also into trains, used to fly planes, am not even going to try helie's. Make yourself comfortable and have at it. I'm sure you'll reconize some familar faces here. Regards, Bernd |

Hi Burton, I really liked your intro, a very compact text and piccies, that told us everything we needed to know. As you most probably know, this site is dedicated to absolutely nothing, so almost anything you make, or even have an interest in, will be thoroughly enjoyed by the members of the :borg:. Sewing beads on ones underwear might raise a few eyebrows, but I am sure it would generate a good discussion :lol:. Bogs |
