Re: Robocop 2 Robocain
Yeah, I saw that video when you first posted it and showed the guys at work. Even the guys who weren't into the hobby thought it kicked ass!
Like I mentioned, your work made me think about getting into machining. I'm actually looking into a certification for CNC machining. Anyway, I quickly imagined trying to machine the armature, rails and elbows for a SS Stop-Mo ED-209. Joe |

Re: Robocop 2 Robocain
Hard part is being able to afford a CNC machine and a good place to store it.I am guessing you have a pretty good garage?I forget all my G and M codes, but maching is fun (as long as you are safe/careful).I think even a good CNC bench top model is somewhere between $2,000.00 and up to $6,000.00 (or more?). I think Sherline makes a manual table top mill as well as a CNC table top model.The only problem I have with the table top models is that they don't utilize R8 tooling and you have to buy different holding attachments and you can't use them on anythimng else "but that milling machinel".I'm not sure if anyone ever fixed/changed that?

Re: Robocop 2 Robocain
No idea about CNC im afraid, im not an engineer, I have a small manual mill and lathe, they were about £300 ($500) each.
 probably not the "workshop" you were expecting

Re: Robocop 2 Robocain
Well, maybe I don't need to look into CNC machining, since it'll only be for fun, but I at least want to get some kind of organized lessons/experience. I get $4500 free from work for a certification. Might as well use it, eh?
Anyway, candyman, your set up looks amazing especially considering the results you get out of it! Joe |

Re: Robocop 2 Robocain
$500 or so sounds about right. I know Micro Mark sells some table top mill&lathe models as does Sheerline and a number of other manufacturers.My only word of advice is "research" what you are buying and despite the economic models that are out there...stay away from machine made/manufactured out of China,Tiwan,Korea,India...any of those places(tooling too).Its junk and you will drive yourself mad using tools and equipment made there.If I had the space and the power outlet,I'd buy an older U.S,German,Sweedish,Swiss or Italian Horizontal Mill w/a vertical attachment bench top model but they are few and far beween. I found one some time ago, a Clausen i believe it was and it was restored by a compay that restores heavy manufacturing machine tool equipmwent.I think it was around $3,500.00+freight shipping out of Ohio or something like that?I was so close to getting it, but I needed a 220 outlet also and that was the real killer.On a closing note,if you have blue prints for a 1/6 Cain like yours...I'd buy them strait away.What a glorious project.

Re: Robocop 2 Robocain
Both my machines are Sieg, made in China originally, a lot of companies paint them different colours and sell them under different names. Its a good machine, chinese, cheap and good.
