The Journey begins.. new to me.. my first CNC - Black Cat

[Fivetide]

Basically for the vac clamp I used a 5mm nipple with a male pipe attachment.
From the vacuum chamber to a ball valve. and then up under the bed and into one of the clamp holes.
The ring is a seal off a cheap ASDA food saver box. I’ve poured some RTV silicone that was well past its sell by date and will cut that out for projects. I can do a very thin double ring (no rude remarks Mark !) to hold my amplifier face plate so I can cut out the holes, that’s why the RTV is a lot thicker than the seal. Anyway he holds well and the vacuum seems to stay steady, all cost £7.50, and thanks to Brian at Tom Parkers in Preston for being so patient while I tried to explain my master plan and then finding the right parts ..lol

Then I saw this at the end of the street, because I had my camera with me I filmed it :)
