Moving the hat rack that the system is hanging from is so easy, I never had to think of "there's got to be an easier way". <br />SiGraybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00280583031339062059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-77111959809057868182017-04-24T03:54:26.081-04:002017-04-24T03:54:26.081-04:00Why move the coolant system?

The system I built, based on the DVD I bought, was <i>not</i> going to be a bathtub, and that's really what you need. Everything needs to be chosen to operate under water, and if you really buy things like Stepper motors and connectors to withstand immersion, get ready to turn ~$50/axis for X and Y into quite a bit more. I don't know where to get the motors I'd want to use, but you can't just buy these, smear some Silicon Seal on them and think that will waterproof them. <br /><br />SiGraybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00280583031339062059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-80451223814487419202017-04-20T16:00:52.494-04:002017-04-20T16:00:52.494-04:00The fog system must be nice for the fact you can s...The fog system must be nice for the fact you can still see what you are doing instead of having a garden hose full of coolant being dumped right where the cutter bit is doing it's business.Philhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15695733883033137146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-86594675380196724612017-04-20T13:55:56.950-04:002017-04-20T13:55:56.950-04:00Amazing isn't it? :)Amazing isn't it? :)Irishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09772405362867585844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-11018758158036851842017-04-20T13:28:54.412-04:002017-04-20T13:28:54.412-04:00Stuff like that just blows me away. 300 cubic inc...Stuff like that just blows me away. 300 cubic inches of steel removed <i>per minute</i>!!
