John.

I just watched the video, superb job.

Let me tell you watching what you did proves to me CNC machining is within reach of the home guy at least to me, and I think you have taken the magic out of electronic machining, your basic approach with practical appliance to problems has taught me a lot on this subject.

Thank you. My shop in the near future will have electronic aids of some sort, I am now on a sojourn to add a little of this to my inventory.

God bless, Anthony.

DeereGuy:
John, thanks for the video demo. Looks like a tool to kick out some flywheels to me. If you ever do a flywheel on that I would love to see a vid. Didn't you tell me that that same unit could be plugged into a computer to run from Mach3?

John Stevenson:
John,
Forgive me if I'm telling you something you already know but if you use the 1 and 3 buttons instead of the plus and minus it moves at a slog jog.

Bogstandard:
Many thanks gents.

Unfortunately, even though the RT could now be used with a CNC set up, this is about as far as I will go down that route. It is now giving me easy control over a problem tool issue that I had. I am sure that there will be some things that it can't do, hence the fall back to fitting the handle if needed, and in the future, there will be a thin vernier scale fitted behind the handle for when it does have to go manual.

John S,

Many thanks for that. I did know something about that feature, but it hasn't of yet been inwardly digested. I am just picking thru the manual learning the major basic bits first. But I will do, when I get the box mounted up on the side of the mill head, in a better programming and use position.

I have to take things slowly nowadays, otherwise my single brain cell can't absorb it all. In fact six months ago, this project would have been a definite no-no. New meds can take a lot of getting used to, and do limit your capabilities more than you realise.

I could hardly have a decent conversation when they first started, lots of blank seconds while I tried to think of the right words, but look at me now, I have got to the stage where I can count both my fingers AND my toes, and I can order a curry or chinese, with delivery, over the phone. What more can you want out of life. :lol: :lol:

John

BTW Peter, I fitted a new half round file to the die filer last night, and did a bit of trimming up on a nicely cast bronze flywheel.
