Bernd:
I guess this is a good place to put this. I got this from a guy who knows my Dad. He just wanted to get rid of it. The following are a few pics of this thing and some ideas I have for it. Perhaps you might come up with a few that I might like better. :clap: As you can see it's been sitting in the back corner of my basement for a while. If I remember right the guy told me it was used in a circuit board making company and used to check hole location. Which could be true. Notice the "wanna be" meter stick. It gives a scale prospective I hope. The table is ground cast iron. It has "X" "Y" scales on it. The white handle is for the "Z" axis. It has a 60 degree point on the end to fit into holes. Everything is stainless steel. The only problem is that the scales read in meteric. Here's a few more pics of it. Here is my idea of what I could mod this table into. 1: router table 2: engine turning table (swirls on any material) 3: circuit board drilling table 9not much call for this) Anybody got any other ideas? :dremel: Bernd |

Way to go Dad ....... :bow: .......... CNC router table there Bernd :headbang: To be fair the metric system is a piece of "waste water" ::) ................ just go to bed repeating to yourself "10 - 25.4 - 304.8" "10 - 25.4 - 304.8" "10 - 25.4 - 304.8" "10 - 25.4 - 304.8" ........... and in the morning you will know the metric system off by heart :thumbup: CC |

I remember an older gentleman at work had one heck of a time using meteric. He ried to convert all the lenghts of cable he had to make to inches. I told him if I gave him a rope with 100 knots in it and told him to make a cable 32 knots long would he be able to do that? :scratch: But of course he said. I said so what's the difference in meteric? Same idea. I think what confuses most people is the milli-meter, the deci-meter and the centi-meter and the meter. No concept of there lengths in their mind. OK, enough about meterics. :wack: :hammer: :wack: :hammer: Bernd |
