I think I really need one of those machines - I wonder if they're cheap...

I've got one in the garage somewhere. I think it's next to the co2 laser cutter, must have a clearout.

BenB - 5/2/10 at 02:41 PM

Not bad. Hope they saved all the swarf and flogged it. Not to mention all the knackered cutting tools!

Plus on cold days your face will freeze to it

You'd be better putting a carrier bag on your head and filling it with expanding foam

Thats some great technology. I bet its expensive though. Is there anything that it wouldn't be able to CNC?

I liked the almost polished finish and the name counter polished into the back. Fabulous. I couldn't afford the aluminium block never mind the machine.

You could if you machined it in 2 parts, but i guess that will still count as interrupted

you boys should have said you wanted one, i binned a couple of them yesterday. bloody things kept getting underfoot and i needed the extra space for the new veyron, now that it has come back from having its panells replaced with diamond encrusted 24 carrot gold.
