    Man, you guys are killing me with this 4th axis stuff, I gotta get one for my 770
    That is very cool. Nice video, cracks me up on the table mounted camera makes it look like the column is moving X and Y and the table is stationary.

    Cool video. Thanks for sharing.
    You can buy good parts or you can buy cheap parts, but you can't buy good cheap parts.

    When I grow up I want to do that too! I just gotta learn cad/cam, and get the 4th axis, and the tool changer, and more tooling, probe, ect, (does this ever end?) Really nice, I like the tool tab trick.

    Yeah that was pretty cool. Being a former off road racer I can appreciate what your making there. Awesome. I also to, thought the table was stationary

    Cool, did you make all the parts? If not, where did you get the components? I would like to start using dovetail fixtures on my 4th also.
    Thanks,
    tony
