Hi Shipmates

 

I almost forgot my little "secret"..     ;)

 

I have converted the mini lathe\mill i have to a CNC controlled version.

So when i want to turn something i draw it in a CAD program, and transfer it to a CNC program

and the Mini CNC Lathe\mill does th work for me. :)

 

So far i have tried to make some cannons, and a ships bell, it turned out pretty good, and the accuracy is great.

I also made a ships bell in brass.

CNC....????!!!!!!!   Fantastic.  I like that idea a lot.   Hmm.... have to look into CNC for my lathe.  I would save my wrists, arms and every part would be a match.

Hi Mark

 

What kind of Lathe do you have, there is a lot of people who has converted many small lathes.

I have been turning a fender for the Dragon, got to protect it :)

Used the CNC to do the dirty job ;)

Will make some more of them, and paint them.
