Electroplating...Nice touch..

So where'd you scam them from then... :D

If you were a Scouser I'd call you a Scallywag...but be'n a Geordie I dunno what the noun would be.... :D :D

Still,  a very nice finish to the product you built and designed...You're a credit to the forum in every way :bow:  :bow:

I think it is still scallywag but you just need to add an expletive first!

Now, if someone could just teach me to grind a flycutter bit, I might just get some use out of the LMS set I bought 2 years ago. John (Bogstandard) tried, but he didn't get through my thick head... Even with several Skype sessions!
Near as I can figure, they're like a left hand lathe bit turned on it's side, but those I've tried didn't work!

I was completely convinced I was looking at renderings until I saw a hand in the picture. ;)

You obviously take pride in your work, Rob.

Cheers Lads  :beer:

Well facing a few bits of inch bar is not much of a test I thought , so I tossed a decent lump onto the mill .

6 inches wide .


same feed and speed as before .


canny finish



flat too , always a plus  :lol:

Doubt its flexing, does the same thing when I cut wax  :doh:  its a very small amount of concave  .001", seems about the same no matter how wide a piece is cut...  Its been bugging me for quite some time now...  hmm wonder if its collet run out...  guess I need to check that....
