Re: my build from the start
Ah yes...if you have a VFD/Inverter rated motor... mine is c1998 1.5kW (2hp) 3-phase 1400. it'll run ok at 1600-1700... i wouldnt like to take it to higher than that... so geared up 1:2 it'll give me 3000 - 3500 at the spindle...., maybe a tad more....

Re: my build from the start
I usually reckon anything better for Aluminum than about £7/kg is a good price... that first piece is 0.65kg, so £4.56 would be a good price... overall you got 3.82kg Aly for £27.20, my guide price would have been £26.77. You paid slightly over the odds on the smaller offcuts and did slightly better on the larger ones... overall, not bad.

Re: my build from the start
3 holes around a circle 35mm apart if that helps what is the circumference ?
Re: my build from the start
Erm, surely that's just 35*3 = 105mm? I've probably got a different end of the stick...
