Generative design marks the dawn of a new era of technology, design, and manufacturing! Don’t let the seemingly delicate, ornate structures fool you–these parts are MADE to withstand an onslaught of stresses. We teamed up with Gavin Bath from CADPRO Systems to machine a generatively designed longboard/skateboard truck on the 5-axis. We’ll discuss what generative […]
Let’s make a DIY CNC Lathe! Here’s the scoop: We want to machine magnetic, single-sized hole PLUGS for our fixture plates but they need to be cost effective! The idea is to make a dedicated machine that can crank these out! We machined the bedrails and headstock, which we’ll cover today. The question is: Is
Let’s build an automatic feed system to load our laser cut clamp handles into a Tormach 440 CNC mill to automatically engrave them! We’ll use an Arduino, a stepper motor, some plasma cut and machined parts and the Tormach USB I/O Kit! Part 1 walks through our design process for how we came up with

Apologies for the unusually low video quality – I’m posted ‘on site’ in Connecticut while working on CAMDEX reloading machines. My wife and I drove by the MAZAK Technology Center after landing in Hartford and it reminded me to share my initial research and thoughts into buying a vertical machining center. Looking forward to sharing

Hunt for the VMC Continues! Today we head up to an open house at Mega CNC, a dealer for new machines but also a capable re-builder/restorer of Fadel machines, including the 4020’s. A significant part of owning and using a VMC is service – both the initial setup as well as ongoing support. Everything from
