Home Workshop on 'Roids

[mrplunkey]

Yes, I finally did it. Been wanting some serious home workshop equipment and took delivery of it today.

I'm now officially one of those nuts with a machining center in their garage. I had a virtually empty basement garage that simply screamed "Hurco VM10U"!

The machine itself is fairly quiet. It's the 30k RPM air spindle that will prolly piss them off.

Only nine people in my neighborhood tho -- and they are good peeps.

Naw... I'll use it about 60% of professional pet projects and 40% for absolutely crazy shit.

This machine has export restrictions on it since it's a true five-axis machining center. You can make a lot of subversive stuff with one of these gadgets.

I could make a 3D model of my dong in stainless, but why go with a softer material than I already have?

and creepy stuff

Once you're in 5-axis with normalized tool vectors, you can make creepy shit like that. I've seen where they take laser scanners and reproduce someone's head in stainless steel.
