yes yes confirmed.

Wondering if post #297 onward could be split off to give Joe his thread back? Looking forward to seeing what commercial interest there might be after you put the feelers out.

Will do, was hoping some of you lot would want to get more involved and man the organizing/setting up?, someone to "take the reins" as they say would be nice.

I cant do everything, all at the same time. Wish I was an octopus i've got that much going on, if no one wants to lead the way on this then it will just be something I do at my own leisure.

I'm still not well at all so the last thing I need right now is more things to stress about, I'd much rather wait and fully enjoy the endeavour.

It's alive, well nearly Always nice to see it move

Yes, great moment when something moves under power! Now, if you can sync two cordless drills for testing master plus slave axes...

Edit - just flicked back and see you are using the long-belt sync method. Saves requirement for synchronised cordless drills

Evening all. For anyone interested in milling Aluminium with a hand held router as I have been doing in this build I've made a little (very amateur!) video of the process:

My setup is a 10mm carbide endmill (and collet) in a dewalt 1/2" router. Using a trend adjustable jig clamped to my bench. Not so much a "how to" as a "it can be done if you're patient!". I couldn't find much on this on YouTube when I looked a year or so ago so thought I'd fill the gap with some shaky phone footage!

Nice vid Joe (I mean the one of you skating around St.Ives showing your wild side ) only kidding.

Just goes to show what can be done with a few tools (one can always be hired for the weekend) I am a bit surprised how well it hold the ali down under the jig.
