I Get By With a Little Help . . .

Still caught up with "real" work !!

Fortunately my friend "Sich" came around on Friday and wanted to "play" with my CNC lathe.

I had just the job - lots of threaded shafts to do :

. put shaft in chuck
. press foot pedal to grip
. close door
. press green button
. wait 58 sec's
. open door
. test nut for fit
. press foot pedal to release
. repeat (ad nauseum . . . well a couple of hundred anyway . . .)

I could work on the camper !!!

It helps to have two brains around too.
Just the odd comment makes you realise there are other and often better ways of doing things.

So look close now - it has changed again :
