That's what I thought! And that is why I voted for #4. To be able to line up 96 holes AND use them to hollow out the middle of that cube....simply amazing!

They all look great, nice job to everyone

Since there are only 4 entries, I'm going to let everyone explain their process once voting is over.

4VRYNG · 02-12-2013, 05:10 PM

Let me know when challenge #2 starts. I wish I would have seen this before now.

Duuuuuuuude · 02-14-2013, 06:43 PM

Challenge 1 winner is crawlerhawk. Congratulations.

Please take a few and post up the info and additional pics on your creation.

And since there were so few entries, everyone else can do the same if they wish.

Thank you Chris

Be sure and pm me so I can send you your prize.

Oh that's right, there are none.

crawlerhawk · 02-14-2013, 07:16 PM

Prize?

crawlerhawk · 02-14-2013, 07:45 PM

Started with a remnant block of polycarbonate

cut and face milled to 1.25 dimension

did a .001 depth test cut

then started milling

continued milling each slot then rotate the block until all faces were done

Slowkrawl · 02-14-2013, 08:13 PM

Cool! If I had more time and spent more than 10 mins on my mill I would enter. I need some beginner projects.

Nice job crawlerhawk, you had my vote

Looks like you have a G0704. I'm in the home stretch of converting one to CNC. How do you like it? I turned mine on for like 10 seconds almost a year ago to confirm it wasn't DOA. I pussed out and didn't swing for the Glacern though

thank you Rob and thanks for your vote

. Yep G0704. good machine so far , I replaced the spindle bearings last summer and that made it run much better.

rob_b · 02-19-2013, 06:51 PM

Right on. Pressing in the new spindle/quill bearings is tomorrows project! IIRC the largest bearing I bought is rated at 7000 rpm, but I'll probably keep it limited to 6000-6500.

crawlerhawk · 02-19-2013, 07:57 PM

I got allot of info on the bearing replacement from Hoss's website G0704 Belt Drive DVDROM

JeremyH · 02-19-2013, 08:30 PM

Nice work crawlerhawk!

Great job to all contestants!

crawlerhawk · 02-19-2013, 08:35 PM

The winner actually gets a prize in round 2.

rob_b · 02-19-2013, 10:58 PM

Can't wait for challenge #2. One question though, have you thought of doing a lathe challenge?

Yes sir, I bought the full set of conversion plans from him. He is a wealth of information for a first time hobby CNC machinist such as myself. As far as the conversion is concerned I changed things up quite a bit to make it my own though.

I have, but I would refer to Bob when the "lathe only" time came. I do not own one nor have any experience on one. I wouldn't know what a sufficient challenge would be in that respect...
