Re: boards and kits and stuff
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýIt¡¯s a pretty solid machine but that is without plugging it in yet¡ so don¡¯t know exactly what will happen long term.? I did get the circuit board making kit and the example is a LED board with traces that are about 0.05¡±.? When I was in college I worked at Honeywell¡¯s circuit board manufacturing facility and accumulated thousands of drills and router bits¡ all 1/8¡± shafts¡ that were discarded when they ¡°holed out¡± (way conservative)¡. And they were extremely high quality. ? One of the things I want to try is making aluminum knobs for dual encoders and see where that goes.? I also have a camshaft gear that broke on my kids go-kart (unobtanium)¡ I need to make that so its ready if any of my kids decide to have kids of their own. ? ? Dr. William J.

Sounds like you got a good machine.? I'm guessing your experience will go better than mine.? I tried this with a budget CNC a year ago.? After a bit of a learning curve and some small successes, I still found I needed many trials to get a good prototype and even then, wasn't able to route traces as fine as we use in the T41.? Still, I've used the machine to route cases for some of my projects, so all isn't lost. |
