One of several things that has been drawing most of my time and attention for the last month or so. Yes, I know this will come as a surprise to some of you, but I, with... *ahem*... a little help, bought another machine tool. :)

Finally moving into the 21st century with a real production turning center!

Had to do a few very minor repairs and give myself a head-first crash course in how to program the bloody thing, but she's up and running. And with a little more practice I should be able to start making real parts with this thing!

Yes, the program as shown as a few glitches in it. But considering that four days ago I couldn't have written 90% of that program, I, for one, am quite happy so far. :)

And, of course, it should only get better from here. :D

Omniturn GT-75, first test part!

Just picked up an Omniturn CNC lathe, and had to fix a few things first (nothing major, mostly cleaning) but finally sat down with the manual to code up a test part. Basically the same one from my previous Logan video, but this time, coded from scratch, no conversational. It's not a complete part yet, I'm still learning the idiosyncrasies of this machine- and yes, there's a couple of goofs even in this simple part. :)
