I didn't realize they were that similar....Originally Posted by JohnnyP636
That is quite impresive that you can do all of that with your control unit...
lol posting on GTAM while watching parts run lol that is too funny....
Here is a link to a crazy homemade metal lathe/milling machine/drill press made from an old car engine block, really interesting stuff, don't think it is very precise but it looks like a cool poor man's set up
http://www.urbansurvival.com/multimachine.pdf
Its premise is based on creating a cheap/universally available part(junk car engine) that can be incorporated into a machine style set up for third world countries with limited access to parts and technology that we all take for granted.
damn hey johnny do they take finance for that???
its funny cause me and greg was talking about buying one of those to make rims and all that stuff.. (straight knock off copy cat style)
They sure do, all our machines are/were financed, my 1999 router is payed off and we own it now....Our old press was also but we payed it off and sold it to get our new $800,000 press financed, and so is my new router which cost $250,000. A lein goes on our current machines for the financing of the new ones...Once we payed off the first 2 machines, we are automatically approved for 1mil financing for anything we want to buy.....You do need at least %10 I think it is, deposit for anything thou....damn hey johnny do they take finance for that???

Metal machines are alot cheaper becasuse they are much smaller, but for rims you need a big lathe and mill....A 30" diamter compacity lathe wont be cheap!
I gotta ask.........
What do you make on those machines....
If it a secret, I undestand....
Just curious what you could make outta wood to pay for that kinda toy....
Thinkin about it takes all the fun out of it !
damn 800 g for a press.... damn...
yo since your working at woodworking place could you build me a table (4 x 8 ) with a frame that sits 6 inch away from the edge of the plywood???
i know its like doin circle on 636 to you

I manufacture thermo foil cabinet doors and accessories, but I also do alot of custom machining. We will take on anything that I can do that wont disrupt our production, and Im looking at doing more of that now that I have the 2 machines...I gotta ask.........

I can make anything on them really, its just a matter of getting the proper tooling and setup. Anything I can draw in my CAD/CAM I can cut out, just have to get the right tools and set the machine up for the task.....
CNC carving is something new I can do, with my new software package there are some pretty cool things I can do now...Like taking a digital photo running it through vector line software, and turning it into CAD that I can add tool paths too and carve out on my machine....The limmits are up to the programmer/setup persons ability really....
Thats my job the other side of my factory is where the pressing takes place, they take the parts I cut out spray an adheisive and wrap them with differnt PVC coatings. Anything from white, metalic colours, stainless steel, to a million differnt wood grains...
Pressing side
Sample boards that we are making to show our product in or customers show rooms
And this is our showroom we are working on, this is what 90% of our product ends up being...
Dam i should have come talked to you.... i just re did my entire kitchen and it was not cheap....I manufacture thermo foil cabinet doors and accessories, but I also do alot of custom machining.

I hope my mother never comes across your stuff...........
I forsee me rebuilding a few rooms for her if so...

Atleast my "last ride" "wood be in a custom ride"...........im sure his working on a box to put you in 6 feet under
jkjkjk
Better make frame rails and some other pieces for me....
I'll probably "bin it" on the way to my hole if history has taught me anything...
