Feedback poll - which age group are you?

[JAZZCNC]

Must have been an absolute bargain then to have considered it... or is this part of your long term plan for world domination

Irving the only Domination happening is over my floor space.!! The workshops going to need a 2 story extension.!!!! . . . What Have I done.

It's not actually that machine or make and it's slightly smaller but works identical regards long Z axis and C & A axis. It's actually bit stronger built than this machine in that it doesn't have a moving gantry.? X Axis runs directly on the roof of the machine main frame which is one big massive frame and the Y axis is a moving table. The ATC works just the same coming out the side.
It's custom built machine with very high spec in it's day(and even by today's standards it's up there.!) made by company called JOBS and started it's life at the Mclaren F1 factory before moving to Rover.!! ( Figures.? Technology moving down the food chain with age. .Lol)

Regards bargain lets just say if the machine was working it would pay for it's self in 3 hours.!! . . and that would include running costs. .

It will in all probability be well over a year and probably more before it's working again.? (If at all). . . Even then it may not go back to it's former glory and end up a 3 axis for reason I'll explain later.?

When I actually get it I intend to put up a build or RE-build LOG on a forum so you will be able to see it either come back to life or get broke up for it's high quality components.? . . . . Thou don't hold your breath because I've got other commitments I must finish and get out the way before I even dare look in this machines direction and at the rate life's been throwing shit at me latley then it will be along time before looking.!! (Hopefully dropping on this the tides turning and somebody's certainly be looking down on me.)

Now suppose I better get back to work so I can start playing sooner.!

...

And there's me wondering if its worth spending money on a 6m x 3.5m block-built workshop in the back garden to house my lathe/mill/workbench and bikes so we can convert the garage for SWMBO...

fortunately it was a joke :D

Wilfy,
all you need now is one of Jazz's "I love cnc" T shirts to become a convert.

41 - 50 rule then
perhaps its the fact this age group has had their families and are finding themselves with more time/money, or even better and just got a divorce and now have lots and lots of money LOL
for me its just an extension to my hobbies and the fact i love making things. trouble is i still have a wife, kids and have no money or time

don't gloat because believe me she will want some kind of pay back

[wilfy]

Haha your probs not wrong, the fact I've gotta buy a new car before I do this kinda proves u right

[martin54]

Not seen this post before but now it seems to have popped up I ticked the appropriate box. Unfortunately I've passed the largest group (40 - 50) but I'm planing on being around for quite a while longer lol.

Work or hobby, well a bit of both really, mind you I am lucky enough to like my work so that's just a hobby I get paid for.
