That's an expensive bench for a drill press.!! . . . . Should be covered in dust by now . . .Lol
LOL!
I agree....so it bloodywell is !

First "Production" cut... a little too much spacing around the items, but that's been re-arranged. The drill press (Only used for simple stuff) is now on its own bench alongside the cutting bench...Early days but I *WIL* make this venture work...
Did a cut last evening of sea animal shapes. Added 2 extra toggle clamps. Now have one for each corner so the board stays flatter with downcut end mills, was halfway through the profiles with my wife Kay gently chasing the cutter with a Henry vac so she could see the shapes being cut (I still not got confidence to leave it alone to its own devices) and the clamp I fitted last was in the line of fire !. :eek:
Lovely screeching noise... she panicked... I was on the loo about 30 yards away and *Still* I made it to the machine as it stopped. :eek:
Feed fuse at the "Kettle" plug socket had blown (Thankfully) so up and running again after moving the errant clamp. :dispirited:
Note to self.... Double check clamp locations to cut areas and teach operator to stop machine....
<<<< Wander off to buy emergency stop button with huuuuuuuuuuge mushroom top

You can fit lots into a garage space - just forget things like cars, freezers washing machines etc. G.
Or just extend garage space into the house.!! . . . All you need do is get rid things like Women. . .LolQuote:

I like that idea..... The unit next to mine is a sign writer working in vinyl.... I might get him to knock one up for mine so "Her Indoors" can clump it while she's watching the machine work if anything goes wrong LOL!
I did have another spindle/clamp interface the other day, but as it only just kissed the clamp I let it run on........complete with lovely sparks and everyfink !!!
The spindle gained a little play for a while in the bottom bearing, then magically seated itself back to whence it came and all's well...
