[mwood]

Here is a little eye candy for yall. My retro fitted CNC milling machine. So far I have spent more time making tools with it than parts for my truck.

What type of Mill do you have? Pictures? A cnc conversion can be done on pretty much any Mill and may be more affordable than you think

The mill I have is just one of those Harbor Freight ones, I got it in 06 and have not had it set up since then. I think it is a perfect candidate for a frankenstien cnc machine, I was planning on converting it to dro's but that was until I saw the home made cnc machine.

Is it the "x2"? If so I can give you a ton of info on the conversion.

Another shot up close before the cnc conversion.

If anyone has any ideas on something they would like to see made please leave suggestions. Lets try to start simple nothing with 3d countours and try to stay inside a 12"x6" work area. I would also be willing to make the first one free for anyone that contributes to R&D for a part I can put into production.

I will think of something.

Im really surprised that there haven't been any suggestions yet. With all the mods that are talked about on here I would have thought people would jump on this thread.

I have an idea that could make money but its about 4 x 4 by about 2 foot long or so, made out of plastic. Or a mold could be possibly milled out to produce it.

I saw a guy make cool silverado emblem. The lettering was in a block format and instead of the star on top he had a cummins emblem on top. You could put a bowtie on it or get creative.
