Hey Y'all-
It has been a while since I made a blog post. This morning I ordered some 6061 aluminum to begin milling my first parts. I got a request from a friend to produce some hose clamps for a Ford Bronco engine build.
FYI these two distributors are the best I've ordered from;
www.midwestmetalwarehouse.com or www.speedymetals.com
Midwest metal is slightly cheaper. Check the ebay store for drops. Sometimes you can find a steal.
Pictures to come. After learning the operations of MasterCAM, intricacies of the Mach3 controller and cutting limitation of my G0704 mill I should be well equipped to begin designing a tiny coaster car!
Additionally I've been shopping for a 70 1/2" fine tooth band saw blade to upgrade my crappy craftsman band saw. 10 TPI should suffice.
Matt
