Dskize, forgive me if im wrong; but i get the impression that youve just leapt into a biiiiig lake with a lump of lead in your hands... thats how far over your head the surface of this is. if so... come join the club; i normally enjoy this sort of thing, but this is just slightly confuddling

especially, since, youre online, but are yet to reply here

 

[Dskize]

ha.. no i uderstand the concept involved ,my lack of reply was more to do with the fact that it seems un-affordable even at a low level so that being the case the rest is just information to absorb

is there really a ninth axis or are you just being a prat

There is indeed a nine axis machine. No idea how it works nor do i wish to know how it works. Way too much intelligence for me.

 

[Dskize]

the ninth axis splits the space time continuim (sp) so you can mill things that havent even been invented yet...

 

[Mario]

yea i heard it proved something like superstring theory....

jamie just buy a dremil muti tool,
you can have a shot of mine if you want to practice

J,
0If your wanting to remill stuff,Personalise markers get a lathe,I have a Clochester student lathe right now and its good for one offs,Prototype that we do for the bike.
I would like a CNC machine but really they are pretty hard to use,Difficult to learn and I can warrent one for one offs and protypes.
Defo chevk out the lathe option mate.
thanks
Stephen

right this is what i want to know

for example

I have a stock 03 shocker body and i want to cleanly and professionally chop bits off of it and channel grooves in it and mill eye/detent sockets out of it, basically customise stock bodys iI dont actually want to produce marker bodys from a lump of metal its really just for some more expensive fun and I personally enjoy ****ing about with things.

What do i need ? ...no prizes for saying 'a life'

You'll need a much bigger and more accurate machine to attempt remilling markers. There are a lot of complex angles needed to get a reasonable looking mill on a body, which will require a good machine.
