Look forward to that Petesos. I have a small piece of soap stone i was going to turn. Milling might be interesting.

Hi Bruce
What i was going to do was to cover the work area of the machine with a shallow plastic tray to save it running over the side of the machine and messing all the rails up. Then fix a circle of polythene or cloth over the spindle and run a fish tank pump pipe inside the cloth/polythene to cool the bit and I see no reason why a simple cnc machine could not produce results the same as in wood or aluminium.
If this is successful then I am sure this opens a whole new realm for CNCers to do and earn some money from it as in the Quarry I charge £4 per 4inch letter any font and that is cut by hand.
What I am aiming for is to put a photograph on stone with my laser and cut the letters with a cnc That is my plan but having big probs with supplier.
