My new machine - Guess the make!

BTW Jazz, Bottom right of the photo is a jar of double cable insulated bootlace ferrules - neater than an uninsulated one.

Cheers,

Don't really get the gist of what your meaning by this Rob.?

Very neat! Nice to see Dean using some of the same design ideas as me

Erm, I'm struggling to see any correlation Kit other than both use Steel and water-cooled spindle.?

But some first impressions. Heavy. Very bloody heavy. Sure Dean may correct me, but my guess is 400kg. All parts are heavy duty, either thick steel box section for the frame or milled aluminium....guessing over 1/2” thick.

Well, Solid Works say 265Kg but I've got a feeling that was calculated using a 3mm wall tube and we have used 4 and 5mm with a scattering 10mm steel plate for things like gantry sides. The aluminum parts are a mixture of 10mm, 15mm, and 20mm. I'm thinking the extra 100kg+ discrepancy could be the powder coating...

I haven't actually weighed a finished machine yet because soon as they are finished I'm trying to get them out the door, just don't drop it on your toe is my advice...
