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"!

 

[PICK3]

Your neighbors will be thrilled

Will those gadgets build a fleshlight

 

[captainahole]

are you going to use it to make key chains?

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

You can make a lot of subversive stuff with one of these gadgets.

and creepy stuff

 

[mrplunkey]

are you going to use it to make key chains?

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.

 

[binö]

can you make some sweet dildos/bongs?

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

 

[mrplunkey]

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.

you need to get your corporate meat hooks into the explosive
vibram market.
start stamping them out in your garage, use local underage
labor to cut annoying wages/bennys!!@#!

I plan on having a life sized titanium replica of my cawk machined

It's too expensive to hire the Buddhist masters to meditate on the shoes so as to balance them with Mother Earth.

I have an 0.019" end mill that would be perfect for that.

 

[needtogetarmy]

It looks like one of those contraptions from fuckingmachines.com

 

[redsamurai]

haha, someone's downsizing....lmao

 

[ceo]

most people that put a $40,000 machine in their garage can drive it out and don't have to have it lifted in by crane.

Big machine for what looks like a small garage...very cool though.

It's the basement garage for lake access. I wanted to use the main garage (very high ceilings) but that wouldn't have gone over so well.

But can that machine utilize full synthetic pot smoke hydraulic technology for all metal lathing?

It can, but the efficiency drops to 200% and massive inflation (like itdid under Reagan) kicks-in.

Hopefully obama administration will implement them nationwide in order to combat the evils wrought by teh Reagan/Bush/Bush 3-axis

damn dude

pretty hardcore

Can you carve pumpkins with that?

 

[mrplunkey]

Only to 0.0002" resolution.

Cool! So, I'd like the following, on my gourd:

Estimate, please?

 

[mrplunkey]

ok so i will ask...what the hell is it?

It's like a milling machine you'd see in a job shop, but it's entirely computer-driven.

The vast majority of them can cut plastic, aluminum or steel in three dimensions -- X, Y and Z. But the really trick ones have a table that can swivel and rotate as well. This lets you machine just about any surface you want which comes in handy for a lot really complex parts.

Could most definitely make an outstanding vaporizer.

rs alluded to you downsizing...could this be a sign that
the plunkster is forced by market forces to tighten the belt,
and move a commerical bizz residential?
what haa kept you stateside, with such an abundance of youths
in se asia waiting to do thy bidding?

1) SE Asia is soooooo 1990's. Latin America is where it's at now.

2) I've just evolved to the next level. With our current immigration policy, I bring a few hundred illegals into that basement garage every morning.

3) The VM10U is the little version of the production VMX42 machines we use. They're so big you can literally fall into the machine. And the sad thing is if my basement garage could have taken it, I would have bought that one instead.

Are you going to make an Iron Man suit?

You know when you read the thread title it sounds like you are conducting an informative hands on workshop session about roids in your home for people.

lolz is that a template you can do to make those pics, just like those motivational parody pics I made?

That's some high-quality lolz right there. I'm going to put that picture up in the shop.

So everything is hooked up and operational already?

He's running wires and installing cowlings today and tomorrow. If I had to guess, he'll put air and power on it late tomorrow (at the earliest). Then he's got to mount the part probe, tool length detector and a bunch of upgrades.

We'll probably start he computerized start-up sequence Friday morning.

a simple yes or no reply would have sufficed

you didn't have to Mo up your "Home Workshop on 'Roids" thread

lol at probe/tool

When I went to Cutter's I heard them talk about probes & tools I thought it was just Mo speak. Didn't realize I was in a bar full of 5 axis machine fabricating experts.

Will your probe/axis machine cure acute terminal phagocytosis rob?

For having a 40K drill press, you really gots a cheap ass camera.

So true. You'd think a droid x could do better.

I'm gonna add a turbine to it and make it 400% higher resolution than real life.

I would never let a machine come between you and me.

Unless of course, you were into that. No MO though! I'm str9.6

Impossible. My servos are turbine-powered.

If you don't watch yourself I'll cite obscure and unreferenced articles from MIT and cut-and-paste scientific studies from the web that have contractions and profanity in them.

pffft....that's so January 2009. My father's had a 5 axis Hurco in his workshop almost two years now.

I bet buyer's remorse is setting in about now since the newness is wearing off

wished you would have went with the 6 axis model now, huh?

Fresh pics coming soon.

The machine is on my home network now. Mastercam interface established. Hurco five axis vector post processor installed. First 10 tools setup in automatic tool changer.

The automatic tool length sensor came missing an interface board. The laser part probe hasn't been dialed-in yet later. Assuming the missing part arrives next week, I should have cool stuff to show soon thereafter.

I love plowing through stainless!

you and my father would be good buds

his specialty is in lasers...he dabbled in water for awhile...

works for Deere as an engineer

goes to Brazil, China, Mexico, etc. to set up their shops

What are you actually going to build with this thing?

Just pet projects? Some random messin' around?

Mostly professional, but I confess I'll use it for crazy home stuff too.

I'm an engineering nerd at heart.

You should post up some of your creations. My father seems to mostly fabricate irreplaceable parts for his automotive restoration projects.

One thing he made though is really cool. It's sort of a geodesic dome looking sphere with this gyroscopic sort of apparatus inside it. No idea how to describe it really. Anyway you can put it down on the ground, hold it still and set the internal bits spinning, then push the sphere and the whole thing does all this crazy shit. Depending on what you did with the internal bits the sphere might roll in the direction you push it, then stop and come back towards you. It's also proof he's way way smarter than me.

I should be able to post something fairly soon. I'm traveling this week, but Hurco is sending a technician to finish the install sometime before Friday. The machine settled around 0.001" last week, but the general consensus is the bohemian way we lowered it with a crane means we'll have to wait a good two weeks for everything to even out.

I'm already having a great time just popping downstairs and trying stuff.
