this was in my shed in the UK all here now setup in my garage..

its now a 4 axis complete working machine..BUT the quest for more dimentions and challenges are set..
it will be a 5 axis in about 2 weeks or so...
I found a company in china that make the 4th and 5th ready to go...
I have all the components to make them but lack the time ..so just spend the 500 bucks required and be done...now to show ya the part...

Boys and their toys hey. Were all jealous.

I guess this all leads to your next step of making your own necks. Can't wait to see all this unfold. Top stuff.

the necks will be made on the router...this will be for serious multi dimentional steel and brass block milling say for bridges and gears and that kinda stuff

very impressed Haydn, look forward to see what you create with the 5 axis CNC, suppose the sky is the limit now to what you can machine and shapes !

ThanxGuys

now having software issues...can draw a part make the parts code..but here comes the twister...to actually cut the part i need a 98kb file that converts the data from the cad to the cam called a 5 axis post-processor...
that file (that operates my machine) is available in a cad package for 13k ..best option ! there..next option is a custom file that "may" work for 3900 euros...next well is to learn machine programming code and thats a code that uses normal programming methods but is a specific machine coded way for each individual machine...and there is nowhere to go to school to learn machine code! especially for 5 axis...3 days now been at it..its like having built a buggatti veyron its on the drive ready to start but now needs a thumb print, an eye scan, and some dna, before the start sequence is initialized!!!
