      @Andreas Lied I would think that some angle brackets would be the easiest, that way you don't have to drill any precise holes in your baseplate and you wouldn't necessarily need access to the underside, or you can just attach it to a counter top. Bolt the angle brackets to the sideplates, then mark from the top and either drill and bolt or just shoot some screws through. Maybe use wing bolts or thumbscrews so you can easily move the machine for cleaning or needed space. A few short sections of angle aluminum would do the trick.

      Are you looking to be entertained or "educated"? And do you have examples of the "dad jokes" and "exaggerations"? Its kind of hard to make a "how-to" video and not be "on topic", is it not? And "informative" and "educational" are two very different things. Just like "information" and "knowledge" and "intelligence" and "wisdom" and "expert" and "professional".

    What did I just watch? How far have I slipped? I used to model 3-D rotor heads for helicopters in the 90's in ProE. I didn't recognize any of the software in this video nor would I have any idea how to feed a 3-D CAD file to a CNC machine or to then calibrate the work piece to the machine. I wouldn't even know the difference between a CNC router and a CNC milling machine. I still lust after old Bridgeport machines with knobs and cranks. This Old Tony's hands don't look old enough to be retired so I have to assume he has a day job, plays in the garage nights and weekends and doubles his work by videoing it all. Then edits and uploads and maintains this channel ! This dude is a hero.

      You probably haven't slipped at all. I don't know about Fusion 360 vs. ProE, but all of the printed circuit board tools seem to be work-alike copies of the big, expensive packages from the 1990s, so you could probably jump right into today's CAD tools.

    Several have mentioned Inkscape... I'm with them. It's a great piece of free software. I've used it to make some pretty cool things on my router. It's the best I've used for tracing rasters, importing PDFs... All kinds of fun stuff. It's native is svg and, best of all, it can export the files straight to dxf. I normally go from Inkscape to Draftsight (also free) to clean and scale then to CAM. Sometimes I copy from Draftsight and paste directly into a SolidWorks sketch. I love the videos Tony. Keep up the good work. My 3 yr old is on me to make him a sword and a rubber band rifle. I will one day.

    I was really surprised when I saw the shoutout from Wintergatan and his mention of your soultion for the muting mechanism for the Marble Machine X. The Bistable Mechanism you suggested is genious. I follow Wantergatan, so it was really enjoyable for me to see that you do as well, and to see your contribution to his MMX.
    I found your site when I searched for help with TIG. I love your welder, but alas, I will have to settle for a less expensive machine.
    Good luck and I look forward to your future videos.

    Great video, as always. For V-carving it's hard to beat V-Carve Pro. It generates 3D toolpaths for v-carving that are superb. It is not cheap, but if you are a member of a makerspace they do a great job of supporting makerspaces. The makerspace pays $100 per year for a master license that allow 5 installations. All the members can download the trail version, then install a secret code generated by the master. The member's copy will do everything a full install will do except actually generate DXF's or G-Code. The member brings his v-carve file to the makerspace and the master copies generate the G-Code. We use it for our CNC routers and also the DXF files for the laser cutters. Since the program is optimized for cutting operations, it is excellent to use with the lasers.

    • @ThisOldTony

    Waved the magic mixing stick over it and 30 minutes later rolled out our first ever homemade egg pasta!

    The engraving looks cool, but imo it's really problematic for a kitchen device. Small crevices are perfect homes for food particles to get stuck and then bacteria to grow. Scrubbing and cleaning out the engraving adds additional frustrating work when washing. Something like an etching might have been more appropriate.

      Excellent point, Pablo. Lucky for me I don't have to clean it. ;)

    Hi Tony, I love your contribution to Alex. One channel I use to visit. I also have watched some of yours other videos before. But now, now I have a strong suggestion to you: Please make a video of your collaboration to Marble Machine X ! This is so great. There is a new superstar born. Wintergatan. Thank you. I can hear it coming ........

    You often get a build-up of inclusions (mostly sand) on the part lines/separation lines. Just the nature of the beast with cast.

    I think you should let the Wintergatan guy know about the engraving technique, he's probably love it.

    hey Tony, hope you are doing well?! Just had a quick question or request really, could you post a picture or short video showing your shop layout please? i am currently working to get my shop and set it up. im getting a 15x32 shed and id just like to see your layout. ive not got my layout set in stone, ive got some ideas, but im just curious as to how you have yours setup. Thank you very much for all of your time and effort, and for putting out all of the content that you do! i have very much enjoyed all of it, and been able to learn quite a lot from your videos & on top of that, every once in a while, one of the videos is actually entertaining. Haha, just busting your chops, besides learning us something, most of the time you're very humerous as well. im very new to having a "home" shop and just wanting to get some ideas on where to set up what. again thanks Tony.

    You could try what we call here in Australia Metholated Spirits for a cutting fluid for what we call here in Australia Aluminium. I used that exclusively when I engraved Aluminium for many years on a VX engraver

    Be nice to work with someone as smart and generous with their knowledge as you! All of the senior machinist I ever worked with wouldn't teach you much.

    SVG - scalable vector graphics. It's the open file format for vector art (compare to .ai files for adobe illustrator). It's more of an artist/graphic design thing, which is why you'd have trouble hearing about it in machining circles.

  • @HacknBuild
    @HacknBuild 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    I'd also mention Inkscape. It's a free open source is a vector drawing program, and it also has pretty robust image tracing. It creates SVG files natively. I use it for all my illustration work as well as things like logos. I also (ab)use it for things like simple mechanical drawings and 1:1 templates!

  • @gantz4u

    The reason for vector files is the file type doesn't pixelate images when its expanded or contracted because it doesn't use pixels, unlike the Japanese pixel grid (.jpg) file type.

    Cast iron sprockets and gears are tough to repair. If they are large can be dangerous. Cast iron is probrobly the most iffy material to repair. I have a spray weld setup to build up material... cant wait to use it. You can tig weld it with some stainless steel rods. But have still had cracking happen.

    I think I see what you did here +This Old Tony, you introduced us to another fantastic channel while you're off on a spirit quest high in the mountains (and probably on peyote) finding the next big project. You've simultaneously helped Alex and created the perfect diversion. All of this is to say, I'm officially caught up on Alex's channel and rewatching older videos of yours at this point. Which led to the conspiracy theory that the ring roller was made not on a whim but in preparation of some great and thunderous battle sphere project. So, ya' know, if you're ever out there taking over the world, just remember that Detroit has way too many Bridgeports per capita to just be rolled over without a sparing thought.

    normally images are stored as binary files with some type of compression, so you can have the best quality image with a file that's not huge and cumbersome. svg, being a vector format, stores instructions describing how to create the image when it's displayed. not sure if there are binary types of svg files, but normally they are plain text and can be opened in notepad, if you're curious or somehow learned to edit the image that way.
