Hello All - Yesterdays job for Scoot was to make some spoons for a client of the Mens Shed. Tried 4 different designs then made the sawdust for one of them. Peter
Hi All - Todays job for Scoot was to groove some incense holders. I used the trace function in Fusion. First time I've use trace... Worked fine... Then I'm back to detailing parts for Lanky. Peter
Evening All - Todays job on Scoot was to make some more incense holders for the men's shed stall. Worked out well. I added an Aum to some of the pieces. No hiccups which was very good. The last lot sold out fast so this lot may do the same. This thread is called Brevis and I have been playing around with my real Brevis at the Mens Shed on and off for a couple of months. I have installed Nighthawk and Commander and have had a couple of issues with the wiring and motors. But today they have all been resolved and the Knighthawk (KH) connected perfectly and stayed connected via wifi all morning. Excellent. Now I can start making proper sawdust so I can see how the motion side of KH goes. Plus reconnect my laser to it... so many things to sort.. But a real treat today was using my phone as a pendent. Plugged in the url of the KH and the phone became a pendant fantastic... I have also decided to get familiar with the big laser at the mens shed so started running through its software and stuff. It uses lightburn for its controller, chinese 80W CO2 laser... Cuts timber quite well... Peter
Morning - Today I made Lankys wall bottom plates on Scoot. The plate is longer then Scoots bed but Scoot =has a shelf that allows long thin bits to be machined. I had to do this in two setups but that's easy. I went out this morning and bought the new screws for Lankys No2 base.. So had better get into it. Peter
Evening all - Fail of the day - Its the first time I've use a 42" cutter on MDF. Must have been the perfect chip load as the chips and dust flew all over the garage in about 0.5sec. So I forgot to turn off the blades on our ride on when coming into park. I have (or had) an MDF board down to catch drips etc but its now sort of shot.... I also think the blades need sharpening... I'll be sweeping out chips for months I think Peter
Hi all - I'm looking for a replacement CO2 laser tube 60 or 70W. Can anyone point me at a an Australian supplier or a good Asian one? Vevor do not stock replacement tubes..... Peter
Hi All - Today I completed the boards for my sister in laws house warming. The large board is oiled, the small one is shellaced to fill then a varnish over that. I think the "varnish" is PVA . Now I can get back to Lankys walls and its paint issues. Peter
