Such a versatile machine that engraver. Just when you think you've figured all the tricks, it shows you "i can do more". That setup opens practically unlimited possibilities as to what you can do with it. An idea: so you know that adjustable angle you've shown us, the one with the magnifier glass on it. Why not make one of those magnifier glasses and install them on the dials of the various machines. In theory you could buy those cheap plastic magnifiers and grind one to the rectangle shapes. That'd be a neat project. Kind of got stuck in my head after i saw that tool. I use single lip cutters too. I actually use quite big ones. The good thing about them is, you practically buy a rod and make the cutter, the bad thing about them is you have to take it a bit slower that and the limitations you've explained with the speed at center. But it's certainly a lot less a hassle in term of how quick you can fix one when it's dull. And by experience they crash a lot less, i might be wrong but IMO i've crashed less with them. On a funny side note, if you search single lip cutters on Google Images you wind up with a lot of Deckel grinders :)) Awesome video and really cool outcome on those parts, pity the other two didn't come out, but hey it happens, especially when you're working miniatures.
aserta I would love to have a 3d engraver/die sinker like the Deckel Gk21, but they are way to big for my small shop, but as you said, with the 2d engraver a lt of jobs can be tackled.The idea with the magnifiers is not bad, I have seen that on bigger machines, the dials also had verniers. But I dont think that I need it on the Deckel, because the dials are massive and very good to read, and most of the time i use a OptiVisor that always helps to see stuff :)Singlelip cutters are a bit of a thing from the past, but I love them - Cheap, they can take quite some abuse and they are easy to regring, I run those also a lot on the Cnc at work.With that small parts I always have to make a few more, but thats not to bad, If the machine is setup it doesnt take to much time to make a few more on every step.
Hi Stefan, happy new year. Now after the housing you have to make the plug and the little coil that push on the strut of the hammer. Even when I perfectly know the mechanic of a 1911, I love to refresh my mind thank to your very accurate and amazing work on your model. All my admiration.
Cosimo Marotta In fact I already turned the plug and the spring follower that go into the housing, I just didnt film that process, because it was just very, very small stuff and there wouldnt be to much to see in the video. As I am bulding the model I am learning how it all should go together, as I never handled a real 1911.Thank you for the compliment!
Danke Stefan - endlich hab ich mal sehen können wie man den Formplattenhalter benutzt 👍👍👍
Amazing amount of set up time. You have great patience.
Amazing amount of detail. Excellent workmanship.
Really nice work Stefan, and enjoyed the seeing the engraver in action.
