So I have been invited by a couple of you to come join KP and show my work over here as well. Some of you who frequent both KP and LP101 might know me. Anywho. I have been working on a Mul-T-Lock G47p cuttaway for a while now. I'm finally done, and I am wondering if anyone is interested in purchasing one for 140+shipping. The one pictured was my prototype and it has some dings, but the ones I'm selling would be brand new. But before I go and buy a couple hundred dollars worth I want to know if anyone wants them. If not, it is still pretty cool to look at .

I always love a good cutaway.

Indeed! That's beautiful!!
And welcome to the other side.
Great to have you here. I'm Mike.

Hey bud, good to see you made it.

Beautiful work. Nice deburring and polish job. Top notch :smile

Could you tell us about the mill crash ? The one you mentioned in the chat room

Is the divot on the left hand side what you mean by a ding? Cos otherwise I can't see anything wrong with it. Fantastic job.

The mill I am using at my college is only 2.5 axis, so from my understanding it does not do fluid xyz movements. It can move x and y simultaneously, but cannot do move all three axes fluidly (you machinists correct me where I stumble). So I was under the impression that the z axis would move incrementally but it would follow the exact same path. I was wrong. I exported it, and I did not do a test run (idk why that was stupid). Instead of following the correct path or erroring, the mill decided to make its own path , cutting through the lock and running into the jaws. Broke the bit and put a big gouge into the jaws. I took this as an opportunity to learn how to make sure a mill is squared up.

I have since then debugged it so it does what I want.

Yup. Thats basically all the excitement I got.

Stunning work! Thanks for sharing.

Made a timelapse of the cutting. Didnt turn out well but here it is anyway

Great work!
