Yes, definitly. The lathe I had already, and the tool..... The only thing I paid for were the cutting tips!! It was made from scraps of steel that I had accumulated over time :-) I don't know if you have seen any of my other videos? But this tool can acheive freehand shapes that (IMHO) CNC could not. CNC has to be all planned out and pre-designed. You lose some of that spontenaity! Thank you for the comment. Ralph. Erm…. Yes, definitly.

The design is free from w w w . Bedair . o r g (I like people who share their ideas for free :-) ) It is well worth making this tool IMHO. I've just watched your videos, your workshop is as messy as mine :) I'm quite intregued about the operation of the motor, what does the pipe that points to the eccentric do? ....

I would have a go if it was made available. I'm not sure how easy I'd find it but it'd be fun to try. I actually have things that I would like to make for which CNC would be the very best option.... 30 of the exact same part!!! But I'll just have to practice my accuracy instead! :-) Ralph.

The trig math still baffles me a lot... but if you can do this working on an engine lathe, it wouldn't be hard to translate it to a CNC. It is a neat and wonderful little tool that you used in the . My buddy at the shop said the same as you but caught on real fast.He found it easier than an engine lathe that he normally turns parts on..you could do it. I was Paliative care Nurse before and sussed it all out. CNCs are dead easy once you understand the codes.

You've got some time on me! CNC..... The thought makes me shudder.... All those numbers!! Brave guy! :-) Happy that you liked the videos.
