Well I bit the bullet and orderd a CNC Router for spot on scratch builds and necks.
Expensive yes,but I miss my CNC milling day's before getting into ROV work so now I got a guitar making machine.

Theres a place in kenwick next to Bunnings that has hundreds of them . $50 in clean nick
Oh wow Jarrod, now I need $$$$ for my own CNC haha

Mmmmm good old chingaloid material does not compare
they pretty ok last about the lenght of 2 jobs then chuck em...I have a buddy in Perth "Gary" who now buys bulk cutters from John he has a company called polyvisual
here
http://www.polyvisual.com.au/
talk to him when he makes a new order you can get it in his bag and save on postage costs with him..very cool guy and has tons of cnc experience he has operated 5 axis machines and also can hand write g-code designed and built his own machines too..nice little factory he has there ...great spot to get acrylic...I used to raid his skip for really useful bits and pieces...still use some of his off cuts as spoil boards today..
Hey Van, are you saying that Gary is "the man" to talk to about getting router bits?
I am getting very tierd of paying out big bucks for bits that are only good for one body.....
Sadly i too can write iso g code as i was programming long before cad cam. Sounds like a helpful deal there haydn and i apreciate it. Soon as the CNC gets here in about a month no doubt I will look john up.
Yea Guys just spoke to Gary and he is cool about helping you guys...he is very busy always on the move making something but so helpfull in every way...give him a call anytime at the link above in my last post cheers

Cheers V! Thanks heaps for the contact, I reckon I will have a few jobs that Gary would be the man to go to as well :)
Unfortunately I have to go to work for a couple of weeks but its here and when i get back the fun begins.

ooohhhh, it has arrived!
Great looking toy there Jarrod.
Been eyeing off CNCs for a while but pretty hard to justify the expense at this point.
Look forward to seeing some of the output from this machine.
Cheers
Darren
Hey Darren, yer took me awhile to say bugger it and buy one
Can't wait to check it out Jarrod. Bugger about work getting in the way!
Well i wouldnt have been able to buy it without the work Wokks lol.....
Well before I leave to work tomorrow I thought I would get it all interfaced with PC and do a lego brick to test accuracy. InMDF its with in .05 mm all over , I cant wait to get into it now.

.5 of a mil?
Geez, I can do that by hand....
BWAHAHAHAHA! Just yanking ya chain :)
(but it is true.... But not as fast as the machine)
When your back, give me yell so I can wander down and see this puppy in action and discuss stuff with ya, Jman.
No worries DB and that was .05 not .5 , as in 2 thou of an inch
Oh, a fleas knee rather than a bees knee....
Ok, thats not bad :)
yer I'm keen to check it out too please Jman, I'll bring the beers !
0.05mm gee thats accurate !
Woks always brings excellent beer :)
HAHA cheers DB, no point bringing beer with no flavour !
sounds like a plan guy's , I will let you know as soon as I'm back
Love to see it too Jarrod!
your more than welcome to come Gav
might as well call it the AGM for the naughty room meeting !
I dont know if my man cave can sustain all the naughty room members Wokks. Prehaps the four of us and we can video conference the rest of them.
makes sense Jarrod, DB has had to relocate the naughty room twice because we've outgrown it !
Bwahahahahaha!
The way things are going it looks like I may have to find a larger premises for the naughty room....
Be easier to have a good boys room with the good boys stuff and set the rest of free to go to the pub.
Now there is an idea....
But which Pub?
Elizabethan, Narry, Como, Carine..... Dammit... too many good Pubs in Perth! :)
We can do pub crawls DB and visit all of them for one or two three maybe four.
The 'Liz has by far the best beer..... Their Bock is unbelievably good..
the bock at the Elizabethan sounds good DB !
