    Where is Gus?

    Gus has not posted since January 20. He thought he was just a day or two away from getting his V2 to run. I know he often goes fishing, but I don't think he has ever been away this long. I sure hope he is OK

    Magnetized spindle on G0704 mill

    I have a Grizzly G0704 mill, which I think is an excellent machine. It has a nice large table, R8 spindle variable speed motor. But somehow the thing has become strongly magnetized- when I cut steel the chips cling to the tool. If I move off the work it will hold up a 1/2" long thread of chips...

    Team CAD build

    There has been some mention here of the new CAD software that is web based and full 3D parametric. One of the major features they tout is its ability to share design work. Supposedly multiple people can work on a design and all see the results. How about we test this by team building some...

    Underwater ROV

    A friend in town built an ROV a couple years ago that got me started thinking about building one as well. It seems like a perfect project for me- it requires a lot of building which I can use my CNC equipment for, and it will require some electronics and programming for control. And when its...

    Forum Errors

    The forum software is supposed to remember where you are in a long topic and return you to the last read topic on a new visit. This seems now to work about half the time, others I get sent to the first entry. This is really annoying on some of the very long running topics. I am logged in to my...

    IC engine valve troubles

    Many years ago I built a 4 cylinder engine, mostly following the PANTHER PUP design. I made it water cooled, so the block and head are completely my design. It eventually ran, but I had a tough time getting the valves to seal, and I dont think I ever got all 4 cylinders to fire. I ran it at...
