"THE BEAST" is alive

Dec 09, 2004 1 Replies

Most all of my posts over the last year have been toward working on the new shop and my old CNC machines installed there. I've been working 40 hours a week on THE BEAST lately. This old girl is a Mazak M4 22" by 60" CNC lathe with a four station front turret and 6 station back turret. She's got a brand spankin' new control.



There's still a number of minor bugs to work out, but she's ready to make chips. I'm wiring in another Estop palm button today and putting the guards back on. Chips tomorrow!



Thanks for all the help.

Kark, congrats. It would be great if you posted pictures of your progress, it makes it easier to visualize your work! If you did so, I apologize for this remark.
