The last time we Colonials seriously listened to any of you blue-faced throwbacks was when Winnie gave his "Iron Curtain" speech in Missouri? While Winston was a master of the theatric use of the English language, able to send chills down the back of even second-language English speakers and capable of playing the audience even when there wasn't one, he never achieved the gritty penetration of reality that you do on a regular basis.
That's fabulous work in any language. Your contributions here and elsewhere in the electromagnetic domain are a national treasure. Apply (or whatever one does) for an OBE, etc.. Lizzie II knighted some braindead beetle - she should be able whack her sword on you.
Keep at it, John. You're a credit to the race. I'll defer discussion of which race until a future time.

John,
Very very interesting - I have the CNC machine (having converted a BF20 slowly over the last year or so) but which currently lacks ball screws to give it the level of accuracy required for cutting gears in this fashion. However the screws are on order and the next stage of the conversion is nigh - in theory anyway.
Since my next grand project is a skeleton clock, my next question is 'when will the programme be available', 'how much' and what else will I need' (I currently run Mach 3 with 4 axis configured).
Deeply impressed - but not surprised having read much of your work here and having used Mach 3 for a year or so.

Heya John,
Count me in as one reading this with great interest. Just a slow poster!

John that is fantastic. I have seen gears done on commercial CNC equipment that didn't do as well as that plus you cut it dry so we could see what was going on. Keep it up, I don't have CNC at my home shop yet but its in the plans.
Regards,
Gerald.
