Slowly working on a plane rack for work. To make them more visuals, and to reduce the obsession with sanding. Going to add some magnets for added security, although I'll need a strap for the wooden ones. Maybe a neoprene mat on the floor just in case they get knocked... what am I talking about, they're going to get ruined!!! #Nooooo #JackPlane #SmoothingPlane #BlockPlane #PocketPlane #Handtools #Tools #Workshop #WoodPlane

More tool plaques being made. #Workshop #Tools #Plaques #CNC #Vbit #VeeBit #Milling #Meleline #MDF

Today I 3D printed a holder to mount the bucks voltage regulator into the enclosure. I'm dropping the voltage from 24v to 12v so I can turn some LED lights on inside the case. I also surfaced the waste-board but not before realising that earthing the spindle meant the G38.2 probing cycle didn't work. The controller was looking to close the circuits but attaching the crocodile clip to the bit was causing a fault. I then decided to make use a normally closed push button to run a G38.5 probe - setting coordinated for where to do this as a macro in bCNC. But I didn't check whether swapping the wires around with the previous probing method would have solved the original fault - only thought of this while staring out the window of the bus. Anyway this forces me to learn the G10 command - which sets the tool offset and workplace coordinates. #WinningAtCNC Also some other good news was all the work I did to the control box has managed to eliminate the strange behaviour with the machine changing the z height and loosing the origin position when stopping a job mid-cut. #StillGotaHeadAche #CNC #DIYcnc #SwipeAcross #GRBL #Gcode #CNCrouter #Workshop

Was back on the CNC machine today. Earthed and rewired the spindle, fitted the ferrite cores along new spindle cable, and tidied up a lot of the wiring in the enclosure... but I noticed the controller doesn't interpret the hard stops cable being unplugged as triggering the e-stop. Think I can rewire this but that's a job for another day. #CNC #Spindle #Earth #Wiring #DIYcnc #CNCrouter #Workshop

Next week I'll make a few more plaques saying OBEY, CONFORM and SUBMIT. And intersperse them among the tools. Scenario: You're going to need a conform saw, a submit mallet, ten sky hooks, a dad drill and 8 hours of sleep... come back tomorrow. #BadTechnician #EndOfTerm

Made a couple new areas for the goggles and ear defenders, using some melamine MDF. The lettering is CNC'ed using a vee-cutting bit. Looks pretty neat. Also made some name tags for the hand tool... so students know what they're... 😂😂 The top line of words in the third picture looks a bit chunky. #Workshop #Handtools #Tools #Goggles #EarDefenders #Wood #CNC
