I originally designed this like that but realized adding a bit of size would open other possibilities for relatively little more cash. I would like to be able to make furniture spindles that twist and possibly gun stocks as well. Too many cool things really and I am sure it will be too small shortly after I get it running. |
Spirals can be made on a three axis (x,y,a) machine, because the a rotates as the spindle moves up and down/left and right. Ofcourse...having the x would make it possible to do some standard 3 axis stuff too.
Actually, it was the design of the machine that first tipped me off to your vocation, and then I looked at your name again. You got any photos of your work?
