RE: CNC REAR ENDS_2

So long as it is not a few arcs or a circle (not centered on a rotary table). The only thing I see the CNC machines doing better than ANY human is co-ordinating the two handwheels to do arcs and...

RE: CNC REAR ENDS_2

The big difference between a drill press and a mill is the drawbar. A drill press has a Morse taper in the end of the spindle. The arbor has a tang on it that keeps it from spinning in the taper,...

RE: alcohol anyone

I'm not really sure where to get it on the street. We have a micro-midget track nearby. A friend crewed for a team and copped a gallon or two for me. It is an almost racing-exclusive thing I guess....

RE: Walkera #4 Fixed Pitch Helicopter Forum

The switches don't do anything. You could take them out and use them for some other project. (They use the same case for 6/7 channel TX's too.) MIKE
