What a machine!!!

Mesmerising to watch!

.

Its amazing what can be done on those 'Super Adept' machines ain't it.??

Nick

Shouldn't that be on the Bodger's Lodge thread?

Neil

That is no bodge, that is shear genius, come to think of it, So is JS.

I want one of them for Xmas please Santa.

I want a real one so I can load jobs on a pallet and walk away and leave it to get on with it. Mixed milling and turning of course.

Only problem really is getting on for a million quid but worse still the good ones are about 12ft tall.

No coolant and an adequate surface finish?

Frank

Yet another example of where, many years ago and far too late to put right now, ' engineers', around the world , sold their talents too cheaply. Where would all the bankers ( et al ) be, without all the toys that make money, make money. Instead of where they belong , at the bottom of the food chain.

Terrific machine though.

That makes my Cincinnati look prehistoric 😢

If they use coolant Frank it makes the tips brittle and chip off the edge. Saying that the tips do not last long.

Very nice... wouldn't fit into my garage though! was just wondering about the cooling but Jason has answered it. What is it it's just made... Universal Joint / cam lobe / worm drive / ball joint thingy a ma bob...? probably drives a giant clockwork onion... .

all the scarf is also instantly vaporising, no birds nests.

Using tapping fluid when tapping the holes though

It's a shame they didn't include any footage of the bloke twiddling the handles

... He must really earn his keep.

Michael, programmers for CNC are becoming a law unto themselves and are commanding very good money, skill related of course. We have had guys come for jobs and we now ask for a demonstration under the guidance of our senior programmer ( which is what they are really).

When your trusting someone that you do not know with your £80k machine, one has to be sensible😁

Bri

Sorry, Bri

It was meant as a joke.

I imagine it's one of those "lets make something really cool to show off all the different things it can do" things.

in other words, a posh paperweight.

Hi, well I don't think I've got any big enough bits of metal to justify using one.

Regards Nick.

But if you downsize a bit we already have the cheaper spin offs.

If 15 years ago someone said you could have a CNC mill, CNC lathe, 3D Printer and a laser cutter in your little shed / garage / workshop / man cave [ delete as necessary ] you would have been burnt at the stake as a heretic using Winfield and Sooper Adapt packing cases [ well cardboard box or newspaper in the Sooper Adapts case ] as fuel.

That little laser cutter spends a lot of it's time, when working, making gaskets. Now that word has gone round it seems that no one wants to tap a gasket out with a small ball pein hammer any more. One fork lift company is over the moon because I make them ten gaskets for what Mitubushi want for one and it's not even hard work to throw a sheet of paper on the bed, press go and then go put the kettle on.

Not the gasket in question

But the curved slot is 0.75mm wide and the hole towards the outer of the central spar is 0.5mm.

Try tapping that out with a 2lb hammer

The whole point being, no mater what industry has it filters down eventually
