    Things today's kids missed out on

    I'm only 17 but i still have those "i remember when..." moments too :nana:. How many of you remember back to when you had to practically wrestle the bills into a self service machine's bill slot? Im still amazed at how much of a fold over you can have the and the machine doesn't care. AND you...

    Where to get small mill work done?

    There are several people here that you could send the parts to to have this done. I could most likely do this kind of work for you if you would like, just post some details. I'm sure several other people will also pipe in and offer soon enough, there is a great machining community here. Kirk

    Anyone do professional engraving? - Part II

    This would probably have to be done on a CNC mill with more than the typical 3 axis, the 4th axis allows the part to be rotated on the table.

    Anyone do professional engraving?

    Are you looking to have just the outlines machined like in mrartillery's pic, or "colored" in too like in the picture? Because those have been laser etched Kirk

    I cant really explain overdriving leds that well, but one thing you need to keep in mind is that under this high of a load you will be seeing a lot of voltage drop from resistance. For example my lithium ion D is 4.2 volts fully charged, but measured across the led leads, there is only about 3.8...

    Making my First Custom Maglite

    I just wanted to add in a piece of advice of my own. Make sure that you press the emitter down well until the epoxy sets (preferably press on the black parts around the dome). When i first made mine, the emitter broke loose slightly after a few days and this caused it to heat up to "angry...

    Going CNC

    Haha yea, i try not to think about how much our shop at school must have cost. Especially with 2 HAAS machines :party: KC2IXE, how does your system program? Does it just hook up to a computer for G-Code?

    Going CNC

    you could take a look at prototrack (spelling?) and AccuRite systems, they are half way like computer controllers (circles and arcs and pockets etc) but they still have manual handles for when you dont want to bother programing. But cool buy for your small machine! Kirk
