in the uk?
Thanks

I am back....!
Got a little bit sidetracked last year building an extension on my house, all finished now so hopefully more time for playing in the workshop
I get quite a few emails regarding this machine build so if anyone does have any questions then put them on here so that everyone can benefit from them.

Hi HiltonSteve
Well Thanks to your "inspirational" build log I've finally got my design sorted out http://www.mycncuk.com/forums/showth...gn-Build/page4 and now trying source aluminium plate for the build. And I've got bathrooms to refurbish
Cheers

Hi, only new to this but been designing and redesigning for a decent while now, I'm sure you all know the feeling! I have come across aluminium warehouse http://www.aluminiumwarehouse.co.uk/cutting_calc.php - they sell cast plate at what seems a reasonable price.... Fantastic build by the way Steve I am going to shamelessly plagiarise!

Aluminium warehouse is good, however I recently needed to order quite a large amount of aluminium (about 300kg) so shopped around and found this place was quite a lot cheaper:

Yes he does,
Though I have to thank both of them for posting/reposting that link as they where able to give me a stockist for PB102 Bronze in 1mm sheet form which I need for making reeds. Thanks to both of you on that one.

Right then....
Due to unforseen circumstances, which mainly consist of my missus running off with a bloke with more money than me I have decided to have a bit of a clear out as I have too much stuff to move.
Would consider selling my cnc router (the one in this build thread) if someone makes a sensible offer. Its all in working order and was only being used last week. I will put full specs on if I get any interest but this build thread should give you a pretty good idea.
Also got a nice german 'leinen' lathe, which I may consider selling. Does weigh about half a ton so not something that will fit in the boot of your car! Will do screwcutting etc, 3 and 4 jaw chucks, faceplate, powerfeed on both slides, even have a digital readout for it that I never got round to fitting. Will post details if anyone is interested.
Oh and her pissing off is the best thing that she has ever done, I have never been happier..!! :-)
Let me know...Last edited by HiltonSteve; 13-09-2012 at 04:41 PM.
