i was going to do an electronic touch block for use with mach. its going to be made form round stock though and done with a turning operation in the spindle. ill probably release the code for that and a video too, but it wont be for a little while.
as for a t slot cleaner... every machine has a different size is one issue.. the second is.. i dont know what that is! is it just a shape that you cram through the slot to knock out chips?
im looking at the thinks i personally need for some upcoming jobs, and they are mostly clamps, riser blocks, and such.
i do have to make some modification parts for the machine, but they are too specific for this example. im porbably gonna video everything i make though.
for this weekend however, all i have is 1/4" end mill, a fly cutter and a small block of steel.
