Going to warwick to have a look at buying one of these next week , Deckel Maho German 5 axis mill,

To say i’m a little excited about the ‘homers’ that i will be putting on it is an understatement to say the least 😀

Angle-set please

How much for a pedal shim?

Plus where are you based and what the hell do you do to need one of those?

Im a product designer in brum, by the way.

Very handy.

😉

You must have a big shed.

Joplin guide blocks for less than a tenner!

I don’t know what that machine is but meh…

I havnt heard of Deckel Maho but it looks very nice, i assume a 200k plus price-tag?

Are you in the aerospace business? – Better uses for that machine that bike parts! Im fairly experienced with 3 axis machines and would love to know how you go about programming a 5 axis machine, mainly cam i assume?

Very nice!

not aerospace although are sister company are,

we are ‘top end’ military research and scientific/cutting edge technology based here ‘say no more’

i’ve been using 3-4 axis cnc for nearly 26yrs both programming on and off line, using alphacam/solidworks for last 14, 5 axis is fairly easy as long as your used to solidmodels etc, really looking forward to it,

what to make first is the hardest bit
