For my current project I have to drill 13,700 holes 2.8mm dia and 11.5mm deep would any one dare take a guess as to how long that's going to take?

The thing is it's in a flat that has been completely re-furbished in the last 5 or 10 years so surly must be readily available off the shelf somewhere. I'll have a look at the orac site now thanks Robin.

Can I consult the great collective knowledge data base and ask does any one know where can I find a supplier of this molding either plaster or resin I'm not fussy. Very much appreciate any help thanks.

It's a mahogany of sorts, I would guess Brazilian or West African, but I don't know where you would pick up that off the shelf,.

Is it the right way up? Usually there's a good side and the bad which do not get the full treatment during manufacture.

If you were allowed to move the holes to the edges of the timber you could band saw them if you have a large enough band saw that is.

It could well be the ply ground not flat as well.

Well I never would have thought of filling my socks with rice as a cure for sore eyes!

It's a bit under powered as well at only 2hp.

Well still a few problems with the post but as the picture says:-

To-days update re-fitted the encoders re calibrated the Y and Z axis and made a few test cuts to find the post processor still has teething problems :x But it has drilled two holes and routed out a plaque. :) And I feel another bill coming. :roll:

Well after a bit of advice from a local motor rewind company I reglued the magnets and reassembled the motor fitted a new set of brushes as the old ones suffered badly from the metal grindings from the damage. Now because of replacing the ball screw and the servo the y axis needed re...

I seem to have missed a bit of the story sorry, :roll: while I was waiting for delivery (about five weeks) I did a bit of research on CAD-CAM software and kind of settled on Vetric V-carve pro, it does what I need doesn't break the bank and more to the point I can understand it, BUT it doesn't...

I'd been looking for 3 or 4 years so once I found this one and put my money down I wasn't going back on it!

First I have to apologize, if I only new then what i was in for I would have made a WIP and recorded the progress. Six weeks ago my new toy an old Rye CNC router was delivered, now I was prepared for a week or two to wire it in connect up some compressed air and sort out the software but over...

As the door is a one piece of chipboard type door it won't have sagged, the hinge screws may have loosened and allowed the hinge to slip a bit but I suspect that the side board is not standing straight and if you put a packer under the left hand front leg all will be well. ( it may also make the...

Hello Gareth, your plans look/sound like they are American in origin, in which case they measure their timber in board feet IE. 1 square foot of 1" thick wood = 1 board foot so 19 board feet would = about 1.6 cubic feet. nothing to do with length. as Jacob has beaten me to it!

For what it's worth, I'm sure the more strands a flex or cable has the more current it will carry, so a flex made up with many fine wires will carry many more Amps than a solid cable of the same cross section. hence the cable to your wall plate may well be 6mm but the flex from there to the...

I'm with you now, missing the A, but nothing else by the sound of it.

Yes BigD you get the prize, although I think you may have had a bit of inside information!
